Hello!

There are three possible lengths.

We need to keep in mind that the total area cant exceed
60 ft^(2), so, knowing that, we just need to find numbers that can be multiplied giving as result 60.

First combination:


4ft(height)X15ft(width)=60 ft^(2)

Second combination:


5ft(height)X12ft(width)=60 ft^(2)

Third combination:


6ft(height)X10ft(width)=60 ft^(2)

Have a nice day!
