A square is divided into five rectangles, and all the rectangles have the same area. Given that AB = 1, find the side length of the square.

So the side of the square = sqrt (25/9) = 5/3
Here's the proof
The top of the square has the length 5/9 + 5/9 + 5/9 = 15/9 = 5/3
By symmetry the top edge of one of the two rectangles at the bottom = (5/3) (1/2) = 5/6
And the area of one of these rectangles = 5/9
So the other dimension of one of these rectangles must be (5/9) / (5/6) = 6/9 = 2/3
And AB = 1
So....the side of the square is also 1 + 2/3 = 5/3
