Question 972894
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


It is impossible to form a rectangle with an area of 16 and a perimeter of 12.  The largest area rectangle for any given perimeter is a square with sides that measure one-fourth of the perimeter.  Hence, the largest area rectangle that can be formed with a perimeter equal to 12 has an area of 9.  (One-fourth of 12 is 3 and 3 squared is 9).


So your problem is impossible as stated.
