Area = Length * Width
.
Your length and width can be any numbers that equal 16 when multiplied together.
If you are using only whole numbers, the choices are the factors of 16
{16,1} {8,2} {4,4}
.
If you aren't restricted to whole numbers, they can be any positive combinations that multiply to 16. For instance, 3.2 and 5.
