Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
sum the parts of the ratio, 2 + 1 = 3 parts , thus
81 cm² ÷ 3 = 27 cm² ← value of 1 part of the ratio
2 parts = 2 × 27 = 54 cm²
Area of A = 54 cm² and area of B = 27 cm²
The side of the original square = = 9 cm
The width of both rectangles is 9 cm ( width remains unchanged after cut )
Thus
Rectangle A
9 × length = 54 ( divide both sides by 9 )
length = 6 cm
Rectangle B
9 × length = 27 ( divide both sides by 9 )
length = 3 cm
Rectangle A → length = 6 cm, width = 9 cm
Rectangle B → length = 3 cm , width = 9 cm
