You can't tell. The area doesn't tell the dimensions or perimeter.

If the rectangle's area is 32 square inches, here are ten different perimeters that it could have.

ALL of these have 32 square inches of area, and there are many, many more:

0.8 x 40 . . . . . . Perimeter = 81.6 inches

1 x 32 . . . . . . . Perimeter = 66 inches

1.25 x 25.6 . . . Perimeter = 53.7 inches

1.6 x 20 . . . . . . Perimeter = 43.2 inches

2 x 16 . . . . . . . Perimeter = 36 inches

2.5 x 12.8 . . . . Perimeter = 30.6 inches

3.2 x 10 . . . . . Perimeter = 26.4 inches

4 x 8 . . . . . . . Perimeter = 24 inches

5 x 6.4 . . . . . Perimeter = 22.8 inches

51/3 x 6 . . . . Perimeter = 222/3 inches

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
