x and x for length and breadth of the square. Change to this is:
1.4x for length and x-0.4x=%281-0.4%29x=%280.6%29x for breadth of the rectangle.

Original Square area is x%5E2.

Rectangle area is 1.4x%2A%280.6%29x=%280.4%29%280.6%29x%5E2=0.24x%5E2.

The ratio of the area is resulting rectangle.
What does that mean? This makes no sense as written.

The ratio of the rectangle to the square is %280.24x%5E2%29%2F%28x%5E2%29=highlight%280.24%29;
or you can reduce this ratio to highlight%286%2F25%29.

No information given lets us find actual dimensions of the square or the rectangle.
No known area, no known side length.
