1. Imagine the side lengths of the square are (s, s, s, s) . The area is the same since s*s=s^2 Now, label the figures correctly and you would see that AC is the diagonal of the square, which is \(s\sqrt{2}.\) Now, we have for rectangle AC*CE=\(s^2\), but we already know AC, so we have \(CE=\frac{s^2}{s\sqrt{2}}\) . Rationalizing the denominator, we get \(CE=s\sqrt{\frac{5}{2}}\) . Now, dividing AC by CE, we get an answer of \(\frac{2}{\sqrt{5}}\)\(\) , which can be changed into \(\boxed{\frac{2\sqrt{5}}{5}}.\)
Do you have a diagram for problem 2?
