A.Y -- what is the formula for the area of a rectangle? This is the starting point of the whole problem. :)

anonymous · Answer

area = L times W duhh

mathteacher1729 · Answer

Ok, that's correct: A = L * W
You are asked to find two values (L and W) such that L * W = 64. 

So any two numbers that multiply together and give you 64 are acceptable. :)
