Well, first think of all of the possible numbers that multiply to make 16.

There are:

  • 4 x 4
  • 8 x 2
  • 2 x 8
  • 16 x 1
  • 1 x 16

Since you are talking about rectangles, you can automatically eliminate 4 x 4, since that would make a square (which have all equal lengths).

You are left with both 8 x 2 and 2 x 8, and 16 x 1 and 1 x 16.

So 8cm length by 2cm width (or vice versa) or 16cm length by 1cm width (or vice versa)

Sometimes. Experiment with a small square and with a large square (though any shape rectangle will do). A square of 4 x 4 has a perimeter of 16, and an area of 16. A smaller square has more perimeter than area. A larger square has more area than perimeter.
