@Siddhesh.
In the question itself one of the side value is given that is 4*1^2 (shortest closet). Since it s shortest closet we are taking that as breadth value 4.5 feet and derived value as the length (6 feet).

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
