To find the length of the rectangle, you can use the formula for the area of a rectangle, which is:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width}
\]
In this case, you are given the area (153 in²) and the width (18 in). You can rearrange the formula to solve for the length:
\[
\text{Length} = \frac{\text{Area}}{\text{Width}}
\]
Substituting the known values:
\[
\text{Length} = \frac{153 \, \text{in}^2}{18 \, \text{in}}
\]
Now perform the division:
\[
\text{Length} = \frac{153}{18} \approx 8.5 \, \text{in}
\]
Thus, the length of the rectangle is **8.5 in**.
