When they say "20 yard" they mean its volume is 20 cubic yards.

Volume = length x height x width

so...

In this case you might assume a height of 2 yards and a width of 3 yards, that would give you the equation.

20 = length x 2 x 3

or...

length = 20/6 = 3.33 yard

(By the way you can use google as a calculator. If you type

20/6 =

in the search window it will give you a direct answer)

3.33 Yards seems a little short for a length, I may have over estimated the height and width. Play around with the numbers.

Try a height of 1.5 yards and a width of 2.5 yards then

20 = length x 1.5 x 2.5 or length = 20/(1.5 x 2.5) =5.33 yards. That seems a little better.
