A square with a side of 1.6 cm and a rectangle with a width of 0.8 cm have equal areas. Find the length of the rectangle.

The required unsettled length of the rectangle will be denoted by the conditional variable “Y”.

Based on the data from this example and applying the formulas for the areas of a square and a rectangle, we make the following equation: Y x 0.8 = 1.6 x 1.6.

Based on the results of solving this equation, we obtain the following Y = 1.6 x 1.6 / 0.8 = 1.6 x 2 = 3.2 centimeters.

Answer: The length of the rectangle is 3.2 centimeters.
