A rectangular towel has one side blue and the other side white. This towel is hung on a straight rack such that the short sides of the towel are parallel to the rack. The length of the non-overlapping part of the towel's sides is 6 cm when the towel is hung as in Figure 1; and 12 cm when hung as in Figure 2. The ratio of the area of the blue side of the towel visible in Figure 1 to the area visible in Figure 2 is $\frac{5}{4}$. Accordingly, what is the length of the long side of the towel in cm? A) 24 B) 28 C) 30 D) 36 E) 40
