2 tens + 4 = 24

2 tens + 7 = 27

2 tens + 7 = 27

2 tens + 8 = 28

To find the length of Javier's rectangular yard, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle, which is:

Area = Length × Width

We know the area of the sod he bought is 378 square feet, and the width is 14 feet. We can plug these values into the formula and solve for the length.

378 = Length × 14

To isolate Length, divide both sides of the equation by 14:

Length = 378 ÷ 14

Calculating this gives:

Length = 27

Thus, the length of the yard is 27 feet.

Among the given options, the correct representation for the length is:

2 tens + 7 = 27.
