What side lengths can a 36 square centimeter rectangle have? in which of these cases does the rectangle have the smallest perimeter?

1. Since the area of a rectangle is equal to the product of its two sides of length and width, you need to find two factors, the product of which is 36. These numbers will be:

a) 1 * 36 = 36 cm².

b) 2 * 18 = 36 cm².

c) 3 * 12 = 36 cm².

d) 4 * 9 = 36 cm².

e) 6 * 6 = 36 cm².

2. The smallest perimeter will be at a rectangle with sides of 6 centimeters and 6 centimeters.
