Math Problem Statement
a square with 15 on top and 9 on side and another square with x on top and 4 on side what's x
Solution
You seem to be describing two squares, but squares have all sides of equal length. It sounds like you're actually referring to rectangles.
Let's assume the first "square" is a rectangle with a length of 15 and a width of 9, and the second "square" is a rectangle with a length of and a width of 4.
If the problem asks for , it could be that the two rectangles are supposed to be proportional or similar. Rectangles are similar if their corresponding sides are in proportion. For two rectangles to be similar:
Using the given values:
To find , cross-multiply and solve for :
[ 15 \times 4 = 9
