so the solution is
1. 12*3 ... a = 12 * b = 3
2. 9*6 ... c = 9 * d = 6
3. 9*6 ... c = 9 * d = 6
o1 is the circumference of the first, o2 the second, o3 the third rectangle
o4 is a circumference if the square is divided into same 12 * 4 rectangles
1. 12*3 ... a = 12 * b = 3
2. 9*6 ... c = 9 * d = 6
3. 9*6 ... c = 9 * d = 6
o1 is the circumference of the first, o2 the second, o3 the third rectangle
o4 is a circumference if the square is divided into same 12 * 4 rectangles
