1. **State the problem:** We have a rectangle with an area of 99 square units and a width of 11 units. We need to find the length of its diagonal, rounded to the nearest tenth.
2. **Recall the formulas:**
- Area of a rectangle: $$\text{Area} = \text{length} \times \text{width}$$
- Diagonal of a rectangle (using Pythagorean theorem): $$d = \sqrt{\text{length}^2 + \text{width}^2}$$
3. **Find the length:**
Given area = 99 and width = 11,
$$99 = \text{length} \times 11$$
Divide both sides by 11:
$$\text{length} = \frac{99}{11} = 9$$
4. **Calculate the diagonal:**
Using $$d = \sqrt{\text{length}^2 + \text{width}^2}$$,
$$d = \sqrt{9^2 + 11^2} = \sqrt{81 + 121} = \sqrt{202}$$
5. **Simplify and round:**
$$d \approx 14.2127$$
Rounded to the nearest tenth:
$$d \approx 14.2$$ units
**Final answer:** The length of the diagonal is approximately 14.2 units.
