The AREA of the square in the link above is 49m^2 and consists of, as you can see, 4 rectangles and 1 square. If the red rectangle has a circumference of 16m, what's the circumference of the green rectangle?

Maybe I should add that the 4 rectangles are not of the same size and you can not measure in the picture to get to the right answer.

I've reported this post, so it should be sent to the appropriate section soon. In the meantime, let's take a look...

Well, you have that the square is 49 m^2, which means that each side of the square is 7 m. We also know that the perimeter of the red rectangle is 16 m. What do you think you can imply from those two bits of data?
