"A rectangle has an area of 100 sq m. Its side lengths are integers"
1. what is the longest perimeter possible?
2. what is the shortest perimeter possible?

Length  Width  Area   Perimeter
   1     100    100     202
   2      50    100     104 
   4      25    100      58
   5      20    100      50
  10      10    100      40 

Longest perimeter is 202 m when the rectangle is 1 m × 100 m      
Shortest perimeter is 40 m when the rectangle is a square  10 m × 10 m
