Answer 1

Well on this problem recall area of a rectangle is defined by:

A = lw our w = 1/6 and our l = (x +
`(2)/(3)`) we have let 'x' represent our original length.

`(x + (2)/(3) )( (1)/(6) )= (11)/(72)`

`(1)/(6) x+ (2)/(18) = (11)/(72)`
12x + 8 = 11
12x = 11 - 8
12x = 3
x =
`(3)/(12) = (1)/(4)` So our original length is
`(1)/(4)`
