The area of a rectangle whose width is 1.5 m is equal to 1.8 m ^ 2.

The area of a rectangle whose width is 1.5 m is equal to 1.8 m ^ 2. Find the area of a square whose side is one third of the length of this rectangle

1. According to the condition of the problem, the area of a given rectangle is 1.8 m ^ 2.

2. Let’s calculate what the length of this rectangle is if its width is 1.5 m.

1.8 / 1.5 = 1.2 m.

3. Now we find out what the perimeter of the square is, if we know that it is 1/3 of its length.

1.2 / 3 = 0.4 meters.

4. And now we find out the length of the side of the square.

0.4 / 4 = 0.1 m.

Answer: The length of the side of the square is 0.1 meter.
