Length could be 9 width could be 8. Because 8 times 9 is 72.

The possible whole number measurements for the stage with an area of 72 square feet can be pairs where the length is greater than the width. Suitable pairs include (72, 1), (36, 2), (24, 3), (18, 4), (12, 6), and (9, 8). All of these pairs multiply to give an area of 72 square feet.
