Answer: 6 inches

Step-by-step explanation: the area of a rectangle is width times length, that is [tex]A = w.l[/tex]

In this case we have:

  • Area A = 72 square inches
  • Width w = 12 inches

So to get the Lenght l we need to divide  [tex]l = \frac{A}{w}[/tex]

[tex]l = \frac{72}{12}[/tex]

[tex]l = 6[/tex]
