Probably not. You need Length or Width to get from Perimeter to Area:

L + W = P/2 and A = L x W

Anyway 59 is a Prime number so can only be got from integers as 1 x 59, which would have a perimeter of 120

Let length be L and Width be W

Perimeter = 2L+2W=36 <-(1)

Area =LW=59 <-(2)

From (1)

2L+2W=36

L+W=18 <-(3)

X²-18X+59=0

By the quadratic formula, L=12.46 W=5.54 (both in 2 decimal places with units at the back)

If the perimeter is in cm and area is in cm², L and W are in cm.

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