S = shorter side
L = longer side
The sides of a rectangle are in the ratio 1:3 means:
L / S = 1 / 3
Replace L with 6
6 / S = 1 / 3
Multiply both sides by S
6 = S / 3
Multiply both sides by 3
18 = S
S = 18 cm
OR
If the pages are in the ratio 1:3: then the longer sude is 3 times larger than the shorter side.
L= 3 S
L = 3 • 6
L = 18 cm
L = longer side
