hello

from the question given we know that he area of a rectangle is given as


A=L* W

there are two possible set of values for L and W which will give 15 and they are either 3 and 5 or 1 and 15 or 5 and 3 or 15 and 1.

so the set of possible values are


\begin{gathered} A=3*5 \\ A=5*3 \\ A=1*15 \\ A=15*1 \end{gathered}
