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√2. Now, we have for rectangle AC*CE=s2, but we already know AC, so we have CE=s2s√2 . Rationalizing the denominator, we get CE=s√52 . Now, dividing AC by CE, we get an answer of 2√5 , which can be changed into 2√55.
Do you have a diagram for problem 2?
Hope this helped,
