Correct Answer: A
Rationale

Choice A is correct. The area A, in square meters, of a rectangle is the product of its length l, in meters, and its width w, in meters; thus, A=lw. It's given that a rectangle has an area of 63 square meters and a length of 9 meters. Substituting 63 for A and 9 for l in the equation A=lw yields 63=9w. Dividing both sides of this equation by 9 yields 7=w. Therefore, the width, in meters, of the rectangle is 7.

Choice B is incorrect. This is the difference between the area, in square meters, and the length, in meters, of the rectangle, not the width, in meters, of the rectangle.

Choice C is incorrect. This is the square of the length, in meters, not the width, in meters, of the rectangle.

Choice D is incorrect. This is the product of the area, in square meters, and the length, in meters, of the rectangle, not the width, in meters, of the rectangle.
