If your yard is 6 feet wide and requires 96 pieces of sod that are cut into 1-foot squares, how long is it?

Is the answer 44 feet wide? What I did was draw a rectangle an label both widths as 6, that equals 12. Then I subtracted 12 from 96 and got 84 and in order to only get one side length I divided it by 2 and got 42. Next I added 2 to that because the width of one side took up one foot and so did the other side so yeah. I'm just guessing.

The yard is 16 feet long. This is determined by using the area needed for the sod and dividing it by the width of the yard. Since the yard is 6 feet wide and requires 96 square feet of sod, the length comes out to be 16 feet.
