From the information given, the area of the kitchen is 54 square feet and it is 9 times as many square feet as does Tina's pantry. This means that the area of Tina's pantry is

54/9 = 6 square feet

If the pantry is 2 feet wide, we would determine its length by applying the formula for determining the area of a rectangle which is expressed as length * width

Therefore,

2 * length = 6

length = 6/2 = 3 feet

Length of the pantry is 3 feet
