The rectangle has a length of 60 cm and a width of 40 cm.
\n" ); document.write( "A=l*w
\n" ); document.write( "A=60*40
\n" ); document.write( "A=2400
\n" ); document.write( "The ratio of the area of the square to the rectangle is 1:6.
\n" ); document.write( "So the area of the square is 400 (2400/6).
\n" ); document.write( "The are of a square is s^2.
\n" ); document.write( "A=s^2
\n" ); document.write( "400=s^2
\n" ); document.write( "\"s=sqrt%28400%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "s=20
\n" ); document.write( "One side of the square is 20 cm.
\n" ); document.write( "P=4s
\n" ); document.write( "P=4(20)
\n" ); document.write( "P=80
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, the perimeter of the square is 80 cm.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
