To find the length of the yard, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle, which is:
\[ \text{Area} = \text{Width} \times \text{Length} \]
We know the area of the yard (378 square feet) and the width (14 feet), so we can set up the equation:
\[ 378 = 14 \times \text{Length} \]
To find the length, we can divide both sides by 14:
\[ \text{Length} = \frac{378}{14} \]
Now, let's perform the division:
\[ 378 \div 14 = 27 \]
So, the length of the yard is 27 feet.
From the options given:
- 2 tens + 2 = 22
- 2 tens + 4 = 24
- 2 tens + 7 = 27
- 2 tens + 8 = 28
The correct answer is 2 tens + 7 = 27.
