The formula for the area of a rectangle is $Area = l \times w$.

Plug in what we know into the formula:

$Area = l \times w$

We have:

Width = 42 ft

Area = 2814 sqft

Plug them into the equation:

$2814 = l \times 42$

Solve for the length:

Divide 42 to both sides:

$\dfrac{2814}{42} = \dfrac{l \times 42}{42}$

The 42's at the right cancel out, leaving you with $l$ by itself.

Now divide 2814/42.

$l = 67$
