The similar sheet (Posted on 2004-03-22)

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?
