Answer:

Therefore, the other side length of the Rectangle b = 4 (4/9)

Explanation:

Although crucial information that area of the rectangle is missing we can assume it be 10 square units for understanding purposes.

Let the sides of the rectangle be a and b.

Given a = 2 1/4 units

a = 9/4 units

b=?

Area of a rectangle = product of its sides = a×b

⇒ a×b= 10

⇒ 9b/4 = 10

⇒ b= 40/9 = 4 (4/9)

Therefore, the other side length of the Rectangle b = 4 (4/9)
