A rectangular field has dimensions where one side is longer than the other. A person decides to walk directly across the field along the diagonal instead of walking along the two adjacent sides. By doing this, the person covers a distance that is shorter than the total walking path by exactly one-third of the length of the longer side. Determine the ratio of the length of the shorter side to the longer side of the field.
