We can start by finding the length of the current living room. We know that the area of the current living room is 108 square feet, and its width is 9 feet. We can use the formula for the area of a rectangle to find its length:

area = length x width

108 = length x 9

length = 108/9

length = 12 feet

So the current living room is 12 feet long.

Now, we can find the area of the addition by subtracting the area of the current living room from the total area of the remodeled living room:

area of addition = total area - current area

area of addition = 180 - 108

area of addition = 72 square feet

We can use the formula for the area of a rectangle to find the length of the addition:

area = length x width

72 = length x width

We know that the width of the addition is the same as the width of the current living room, which is 9 feet. So we can substitute 9 for the width and solve for the length:

72 = length x 9

length = 72/9

length = 8 feet

Therefore, the length of the addition is 8 feet.
