To find the missing length \( c \) when you have a rectangular area of 32 square yards and one side measuring 8 yards, you can use the formula for the area of a rectangle:

\[
\text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width}
\]

In your case, let’s denote the length as 8 yards and the width as \( c \):

\[
32 \, \text{yd}^2 = 8 \, \text{yd} \times c
\]

To find \( c \), you can rearrange the equation:

\[
c = \frac{32 \, \text{yd}^2}{8 \, \text{yd}}
\]

Calculating this gives:

\[
c = \frac{32}{8} = 4 \, \text{yd}
\]

So, the missing length \( c \) is **4 yards**.
