You measure the length, L, in some units (inches, centimetres, whatever), measure the width, W, in the same units and then calculate L/W.

Divide the width by the length when both are measured in the same units.
You find the ration by creating a fraction from the fators and then reducing the fraction to the lowest common denominator. The resulting reduced fraction is the ratio. For Example. A length of 10 feet and a width of 5 feet 10/5 reduces to 2/1 so 2:1 is the ratio of length to width
The ratio of width to length is 34, so W = 34*L The area of a rectangle is L * W, so using the ratio we get L * 34*L = 108 cm2 34*L2 = 108 L = SQRT (108/34) = 1.78 cm W = 60.6 cm
If Length * Width = Area, then Area ÷ width = Length
Each face of a box is a rectangle . The area of a rectangle is (its length) times (its width). Measure the length and width of each face, and multiply (length times width). If you think about what you're doing, and plan it carefully, you only have to make three measurements and you'll have the whole box covered ... all six faces.
