Can someone please help me on this little brain teaser? I just need an answer, and an explanation on how you got the answer.
Please and thanks!
Geometry
1. A square and four congruent rectangles are arranged in a larger square. The smaller square and each of the rectangles have the same perimeter. Determine the ratio of the length of a side of the larger square to the length of a side of the smaller square.

2. A container in the shape of a rectangular solid with dimensions 4 x 5 x 10 is placed so that its height is 10. Water fills the container to a height of 6. The container is then turned so that the base dimensions are 4 x 10. Determine the height of the water in the container.
Logic
3. If it takes 12 minutes to cut a log into 4 pieces, how many minutes will it take to cut a log into 3 pieces?
Please and thanks!
