Answer:

16 feet in length.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this situation, you are given the area and the width of the full carpet, furthermore, you must reverse the formula for area to find the length, as so:

Area Formula: A= l • w

Given: 136= l • 8.5

l = 136 ÷ 8.5

l = 16 feet

I hope this was helpful!
