Length = 11 Width = 9 Area we need = 126 So Area = length * width 126 = 11 * 9 Now.. this is obviously wrong.. they want us to find the correct length.. 126 = L * 9 126/9 = L L = 14 Now since they ask about how much farther you need to extend, take the final and subtract from the original 14 - 11 = 3 Answer is 3.
