Knowing the area doesn't tell you the shape or the dimensions. There are
an infinite number of different shapes, having an infinite number of different
dimensions, that ALL have 32 square feet of area.
Here are a few rectangles that do:
0.8-ft x 40-ft
1 x 32
1.6 x 20
2 x 16
3.2 x 10
4 x 8
4.8 x 62/3

32 square feet. Multiply length by width - the result is the area in square feet.
Its height times width must equal 12. The rectangle could be: The height could be 1 and the width 12. The height could be 3 and the width 4. The height could be 6 and the width 2. But it could not have a height of 8 and width of 4 (since 8×4 = 32 square units of area).
You multiply the width by the length to get square footage. Example 4x8 sheet is 32 sqare feet, 4x12 ft board has 48 square feet.
To determine the dimensions of a 32 square foot area, you need to consider the shape of the area. For example, if the area is a square, each side would be the square root of 32, which is approximately 5.66 feet. If the area is a rectangle, you would need the length and width to calculate the dimensions. In general, 32 square feet is equivalent to an area that is 5.66 feet by 5.66 feet, or 4 feet by 8 feet, or any other combination that multiplies to 32.
To find the total square footage of a rectangular area, you multiply the length by the width. In this case, 24 feet multiplied by 32 feet equals 768 square feet. So, there are 768 square feet in a 24' x 32' area.
