If a SHEET of paper, rectangle, has dimensions x and y and perimeter 1 meter, then in meters, 2x%2B2y=1. The restriction is that x%3E0 and y%3E0. Any points on the line in quadrant 1 not on the axes could work.

The posted problem description did not have any given relationship between length and width, and gave no information about area.
