1 answer

To find the width of the rectangle, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle:

Area = Length * Width

Given that the area is 72 square inches and the length is 9 inches, we can rearrange this formula to solve for the width:

Width = Area / Length

Width = 72 square inches / 9 inches

Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 8 inches.
