In the first place, the large rectangle cannot have an area of 1350 cm. Area is measured in square units. So the area must be 1350 square cm.
Given that, the only thing you know, because each of the three smaller rectangles must have the same area, is that the area of each is 1350 divided by 3, or 450 square cm.
You cannot determine the dimensions of the three smaller rectangles because there are an infinite number of pairs of values 
and 
such that
