These are not similar rectangles so there is no obvious candidate for the ratio. Is it ratio of lengths (sides, perimeter, diameter), or ratio of area?
Perimeter = 2 x (width + length)⇒ 12 = 2 x (width + length)⇒ width + length = 6⇒ the rectangles could be:1 by 52 by 43 by 3[A square is a rectangle with equal sides.]
There are an infinite number of different rectangles that all have lengths of 8. In order to narrow it down to the right one, you need to know something else about it, like the perimeter, or the area, or the length of the diagonal.
There are infinitely many such rectangles.
The factor pairs are the length and width of the rectangles.

Some people like to visualize factors as representing the lengths of sides of rectangles. In the same way that length times width equals area, factor times factor equals product.

Opposite sides are parallel and it has a breadth and width of different lengths
If the 'ratio' (length/width) of one rectangle is the same number as (length/width) of the other one, then the two rectangles are similar.
A square has length and a width that are equal in size whereas a rectangles has a length and a width of different sizes but they both have 4 interior right angles.

The set of whole numbers is infinite; hence, the number of rectangles that meet your specifications is infinite, as well. Are you sure you have the question right?
The answer is 576cm.
