First, let's convert 1 1/3 to a decimal.


1/3 * 100 = 33.3

Decimal moves 2 to the left, making it 0.33

Now we know the width is 1.33 feet.

Area = length * width

Because of this, we know that:

area/width = length

So, we can plug in the appropriate values


14/1.33 = 10.52

The length of the rectangle is 10.52 feet.
