There are an infinite number of rectangles for any given area, while there is only one square for any given area. The number of integer-value rectangles depends on the area and the number of integer factors of a whole-number area.

Example: a rectangular area of 6 square inches could be enclosed by rectangles that were 1x6, 2x3, 3x2, and 6x1. Non-integer dimensions would include 1.5x4 and 1.2x5 inches.
