Answer:

The sides could be: (1,18); (2,9) or (3,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the area of the rectangle is 18cm² and the sides are whole numbers.

Area of rectangle is product of its sides.

This means that we need to find pairs of whole numbers whose product is 18.

Now:

18 = 1x18

18 = 2x9

18 = 3x6

Hence the sides could be 1 and 18; 2 and 9; or, 3 and 6.

(All sides are in cm)
