There are many other possibilities since the question does
not stipulate that lemgth and width are integers.
 
Example:  (1/4) by 64 meters or 0.25 by 64
 
Any two real positive numbers whose product is 16

LW = 16
W = 16/L
 
You can pick any positive value for L and solve for W
Let L = 10
W = 16/10 = 1.6
10 m by 1.6 m
