The area of a rectangular flower bed is 24 m2. what can be the perimeter of this flower bed, if the length and width of the flower bed are a whole number of meters?

The area of a rectangular flower bed or rectangle is the product of length and width. Therefore, we need to find the product of integers, which will give 24 as a result. Such numbers can be:

1) 1 * 24 = 24 m

The perimeter of such a flower bed will be:

P = 2 * (1 + 24) = 50 m

2) 2 * 12 = 24 m

The perimeter of such a flower bed will be:

P = 2 * (2 + 12) = 48 m

3) 3 * 8 = 24 m

The perimeter of such a flower bed will be:

P = 2 * (3 + 8) = 22 m

4) 4 * 6 = 24 m

The perimeter of such a flower bed will be:

P = 2 * (6 + 4) = 20 m

Answer: the perimeter of such a flower bed can be 50, 48, 22, 20 m.
