Megoldás. Ha két téglalapnak van egyenlő hosszú oldala, akkor a területük aránya egyenlő a másik oldaluk arányával. Így a 36 cm\(\displaystyle ^2\) és 24 cm\(\displaystyle ^2\) területű téglalapok területének aránya ugyanúgy 3:2, mint a 20 és \(\displaystyle t_1\) területű téglalapok aránya, azaz \(\displaystyle t_1=20\cdot\frac23=\frac{40}{3}~\textrm{cm}^2\).

Hasonlóképpen (a 36 : 24 = \(\displaystyle t_2\) : 8 aránypárból) \(\displaystyle t_2=8\cdot\frac32=12~\textrm{cm}^2\).

A \(\displaystyle t_2\) : 20 = \(\displaystyle t_3\) : 30 aránypárból \(\displaystyle t_3=30\cdot\frac{12}{20}=18~\textrm{cm}^2\), illetve a \(\displaystyle t_4\) : 24 = \(\displaystyle t_3\) : 8 aránypárból \(\displaystyle t_4=24\cdot\frac{18}{8}=54~\textrm{cm}^2\).
