I don’t think that’s possible. Unless the answer they’re looking for is in the decimals, 63 is only divisible by 1, 3, 7, 9, 21, and 63. Seeing as the formula for the area of a rectangle is a= lw, having something like that problem wouldn’t be possible. I’m most likely wrong, but I’m not completely sure. Please feel free to correct me!!
