Problem 23

A rectangular piece of paper whose length is $\sqrt3$ times the width has area $A$. The paper is divided into three sections along the opposite lengths, and then a dotted line is drawn from the first divider to the second divider on the opposite side as shown. The paper is then folded flat along this dotted line to create a new shape with area $B$. What is the ratio $B:A$?
