# Tricking the Magician

Logic Level 3

You met a magician on a train, and after a little chat, he took out $$3$$ squares of different sizes, as shown below. (The figure may not be drawn to scale.)

Magician: "These squares' side lengths are distinct digits (from $$1$$ to $$9$$ inclusive) whose greatest common factor is $$1$$."

With a flip of his hand, he transformed the squares into one whole rectangle.

Magician: "Now this rectangle's area is the same as the combined area of those $$3$$ squares. The width of the rectangle is equal to the sum of the $$3$$ squares’ side lengths, while the height of the rectangle is another distinct digit."
You: "How amazing! Can you tell me that height then?"
Magician: "No. Even if you know it, you still can’t work out the area of the rectangle."
You: "Can you at least tell me just one side length of the squares then?"
Magician: "No. Even if you know just any one square's length, you still can’t work out the area of the rectangle."
You: "Thanks! Now I know the area of the rectangle."

The magician became baffled after he had been advertently tricked to slip out a big clue.

What is the area of the rectangle?
