Answer:the length of the rectangular closet is 2 feet

Explanation:

The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as

Area = Length × width

Jackson's rectangular bedroom has an area of 90 square feet. The area of his bedroom is 9 times that of his rectangular closet. This means that the area of his rectangular closet would be

90/ 9 = 10 square feet

If the closet is 2 feet wide, then the length would be

Area/ width = 10/2 =5 feet
