How many different areas in square inches can the rectangle have?

The perimeter of a rectangle is 22 inches and the inch-measure of each side is counting number. How many different areas in square inches can the rectangle have?

MetroEye: The perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l+b) where l is length and b is the breadth of rectangle. The area of the rectangle = l*b.

Given 2(l+b) = 22
=> l+b = 22/2 = 11 inches.

Each side i.e; l and b are counting numbers which when added should give 11.

So the options are,

l
b
l*b
1
10
10
2
9
18
3
8
24
4
7
28
5
6
30
Rectangle can have 5 different areas.
