Given:
Width = 9 feet
Length of rectangle = ⅓ width
Length of rectangle = ⅓ (9)
Length of rectangle = 3 feet
Determine the area of the rectangle.
Formula for the area of the rectangle.
A = lw
Solution:
Substitute the given values of l and w to the formula for the area of the rectangle.
A = lw
A = (3ft)(9ft)
A = 27 ft^2
Final answer:
A = 27 ft^2
