Remember, it's a rectangle...
how about a rectangle that is
2 units wide
and
11 units long
(this is equivalent to 22 square units)

What's the matter with a rectangle that is 1 unit wide by 22 units long? Or a 2 by 11 rectangle? Or a 4 by 5.5 rectangle? Or a 0.1 by 220 rectangle. Or a by rectangle. There are an infinite number of different choices.
