I have a sheet of paper with a grid drawn on it, filling the whole paper. This grid has 4 rows and 9 columns, forming 36 congruent rectangles. Also, each of these rectangles is similar in proportion to the whole sheet.

If the sheet is 15 inches wide, how long is it?

(In reply to A different solution by Iain)

Sorry - didn't read the question properly.

4 rows, 9 columns - the width must be the longest side. I was wrong (much as it pains me to admit it)
