Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the missing side length

From the question, it was said that the area is greater than 50 square units

What this mean is that the product of the width and length of the rectangle is greater than 50 square units

Therefore, the number in whch we will multiply by 6 must give us a result greater than 50 square units

The highest multiple of 6 closest to 50 is 48 while the closest multiple after 50 is 54

9 multiplied by 6 will give 54 square units

In essence, we can say that the missing side length is 9 square units
