Answer:

The length of the rectangle=16/45 feet

Explanation:

The area of a rectangle is given by;

A=L×W

where;

A=area of the rectangle

L=length of the rectangle

W=width of the rectangle

In our case;

A=(8/10) square feet

L=unknown

W=2 1/4 feet=9/4 feet

replacing;

8/10=l×9/4

l=8/10×4/9

l=16/45 feet

The length of the rectangle=16/45 feet
