Asquare of area 36cm is cut to make two rectangles a and b the ratio of area a to b is 2: 1 work ou the dimensions of rectangles a and b

The dimensions of rectangle a are 6x4 and dimensions of rectangle b are 6x2.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a square with area 36 squared cm. Therefore, dimension of the square will be 6 cm.

The square is cut into two rectangles with areas in the ratio 2:1.

Let the dimensions of the rectangles be 6*a and 6*b. Therefore, we can set up the ratio of areas as:

Moreover, we can set the combined area of rectangles equal to the area of square to form another equation:

Using substitution method, we can solve for 'a' and 'b' as shown below:

And

Therefore, dimensions of the two rectangles are 6x4 and 6x2, respectively.

yes the total will be same because in both of them the expression.is rearranged but their sign remains the same hence it hss just been shuffled
