Find Rectangle Dimensions: Area 256 cm² with 4:1 Side Ratio

To find the area of the rectangle, we multiply the length by the width.

According to the data in the statement, one side will be equal to X and the other side will be equal to 4X

Now we replace the existing data:

$S=x\times4x$

$256=4x^2$

We divide the two sections by 4:

$64=x^2$

We extract the square root:

$x=\sqrt{64}=8$

If we said that one side is equal to x and the other side is equal to 4x and we know that x=8

From here we can conclude that the sides of the rectangle are equal:

$8,8\times4=8,32$
