Answer (2)

When we look at the picture, we realize that you copied the problem wrong. The perimeter is 34 meters, not 3 meters.
The rectangle is 15 meters long and 2 meters wide .
The area is (15 x 2) = 30 square meters.
The perimeter is (15 + 2 + 15 + 2) = 43 meters.

Given the area of 30 square meters and a perimeter of 3 meters, there are no dimensions for a rectangle that satisfy both conditions since the calculated discriminant is negative. This means that it's impossible to have a rectangle with such area and perimeter. Thus, the problem as stated has no valid solution.
