Question

The legnth of a rectangle is 1/3 of its width. The width of the rectangle is 9 feet what is the area of the rectangle.

Answer 1

Answer:

The area of the rectangle is 27

Step-by-step explanation:

so we need our formula to find the area of a rectangle. Area = Width × Length

Now we plug our numbers in.

A = 9 × Length

Since we are missing our exact Length amount we need to figure that out first. The statement says the length is 1/3 the size of the Width and the Width is 9.

9 × 1/3 = 9/3

9/3 can be simplified to 3 thus our Length is 3. now we add this into our equation

A = 9 × 3

A = 27
