The area of a rectangle is given by multiplying its length and width. Let's assume the width of the rectangle to be x inches. We know the area is 54 square inches, so we can write the equation:
Length * Width = Area
9 inches * x inches = 54 square inches
Simplifying the equation, we get:
9x = 54
Dividing both sides by 9, we get:
x = 6
Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 6 inches. So, the length of the rectangle is 9 inches (given).
