Answer: 10 and 30 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
If each side of the square field is 20 m, the perimeter should be 20*4, since a square has four sides and each side is the same length. 20*4=80, therefore, the square’s perimeter is 80 meters.
The question mentioned that the square and the rectangle has the same perimeter, so the recatangle’s pereimeter is 80, also. Now, a rectangle’s side’s opposite side are always the same length, so we can just divide the perimeter by two. 80/2=40. That means that the adjacent sides added together is 40. If the ratio is 1:3, we can divide 40 by 4. (40/4=10) 10*1= 10 and 10*3=30. In conclusion, the dimensions are 10 and 30! :)
