the length of the shorter side is:L  = 13.125cm

how long will the shorter side be?

In the longer side we have 8 segments.

We know that the side measures 35 cm, then each one of the 8 segments measures:

35cm/8 = 4.375cm

Now, we can see that in the shorter side we have 3 of these segments.

Then the length of the shorter side is:

L  = 3*(4.375cm) = 13.125cm
