the two widths have to be the same also the length. a square can be a rectangle not the other way around that is why 3 by 3 works
and those 3 can be flipped to make 5

for a rectangle the perimeter is 2(L+w)
where l is length
and w is width
if perimeter is 12 l and w have to equal 6 because 6 * 2 =12
