The length is 3 and the width is 9
To find this, you need to know the factors of 27. They are 1 and 27 and 3 and 9. 3 and 9 have a difference of 6, so that's the answer.

The length is 3 and the width is 9. The factors of 27 are 1,3,9, and 27. Out of that, only 9 and 3 work. 9 is greater than 3 by 6 which matches your scenario. The length is actually shorter than its width, hence making the length 3 and the width 9. Hope this helps!
