Area = Length times width. So L = area/width. With this we make the equation 108/9 = length, so the width is 12 feet.

Answer: 12

Explanation:

Since area = length x width

108 square feet = length x 9 feet

To do this, you have to figure out what number times 9 is 108.

108/9 = 12

So, the answer is 12.
