Answer:
<u>Rectangle A</u> <u>Rectangle B</u>
length = 9 cm length = 9 cm
width = 6 cm width = 3 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of square At = 81 cm²
Square is cut into two pieces = A + B
The ration of area A to B = 2:1
Find
Rect A Rect B
length length
width width
---------------------------------
first, get the side of the square = A = s²
81 = s²,
s = √81
s = 9 cm
since the ratio is 2:1, therefore the side can be divided into 3
9 ÷ 3 = <u>3 cm </u> ----- take note of this to get the <u>Width</u>
<u>Rectangle A</u>
L = 9 cm (which is the s = 9 cm)
W = <u>3 cm</u> (2 ratio) = 6 cm
<u>Rectangle B</u>
L = 9 cm (which is the s = 9 cm)
W = <u>3 cm</u> (1 ratio) = 3 cm
<u>Proof:</u>
At = A + B
81 = (9x6) + (9x3)
81 = 54 + 27
81 = 81 ----- OK
