Shorter side( width) = 4 1/2 = 9/2= 4.5
other side(length) = 6
Area= 6*4.5 = 27
other side(length) = 6
Area= 6*4.5 = 27

Closet only means a closed space. So here in a rectangle diagonal=7. 5 feet and breadth=4. 5 feet. So using hypotenuse2=base2+altitude2 we can easily find the lenght. So area= l*b.
