Respuesta :

Answer:

27 feet squared

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the length (width = 9)

  1. length = 1/3 width
  2. length  = 1/3 (9)
  3. length = 1/3 * 9/1 = 9/3
  4. Simplify 9/3 = 3
  5. Length = 3 feet

Find area of rectangle

  1. area = length * width
  2. area = 3 * 9 = 27
  3. area = 27 feet squared
