First, convert the feet in the question into yards:
25/3 = 8.33
36/3 = 12
Area = length x width
Area = 8.33 x 12 = 99.99
Answer 100 sq yd

Area = Length * Width
= 36 * 25 = 900 sq. Ft
Note: THAT iS not the answer, you need to change the units
1 yd = 3 ft, 1 sq. yd = 9 sq. ft.
900 (sq. ft) / 9 (sq. Ft / sq. yd ) = 100 sq. Yd
:::::::::::::::::: Ans 100 sq. yd.

at least 900 sq. yd. assuming no mistakes and a perfectly rectangular floor.
to do this, all you have to do is multiply the 25 by 36

wouldn't it be 900? area = length times width?
