Answer:

9 inches long

Step-by-step explanation: So, this is an area problem. We know that this is a rectangle. This means we use the equasion lw or length times width. We are missing the length so we can divide the area by the width. This is common in problems where you must find a missing number.

It’s 9inches ! Because area=width •length

Therefor you can divide 63 by 7 to get 9
