You can put this solution on YOUR website! A set of rectangles consists of exactly one rectangle of each possible size such that for each rectangle the area is 24 and the length and width are integers.
:
Find all the factors of 24:
1 by 24; 2 by 12; 3 by 8; 4 by 6;
:
Find the proportion of the rectangle in the set that have the perimeter greater than 25?
:
Only 1 by 24 and 2 by 12 have perimeters > 25 so half of the them
