Perimeter Question

[bdecker]

Hello,
I have a computer program that provides me with measured quantities of different areas.
For example I will have many objects of different sizes and shapes and I know the total area and number of objects. I am working in square feet.
What I want to know is the total lineal foot perimeter of all of the objects?
Is that possible?

Thank You

Hi,

Just as an example following Subhotosh Khan's post, how many ways could there be a rectangular object with integer sides whose area was 24 ft²?

As currently stated, the exercise is not solvable. Please reply with the full and exact text of the exercise, the complete instructions, a scan of (or a detailed description of) any other relevant material (such as a diagram, pseudo-code, or other info), and a clear statement of your thoughts and efforts so far.

(Or, if this is really a "real life" problem, rather than a homework-help question for the math-help volunteers, please consider hiring a computer programmer to create the software you are needing.)

Thank you!
