Since the area of a rectangle is given by the product of the length and its width:


A=w* l

And we know that A=144 and w=9, then:


144=9l

Divide both sides by 9 to find the value of the length:


\begin{gathered} l=(144)/(9) \\ l=16 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the length of the rectangle is:


16in
