3 and 5 because 3 times 5 is 15

There are multiple possible answers for this. To determine one of the possible answers you would use the formula P = 2l + 2w, where l stands for the length and w stands for the width. I would choose a number for the length, such as a 4 and substitute it in the formula. This would make it 15 = 8 + 2w. Solve the equation by subtracting 8 from both sides and then dividing both sides by 2. This would give you a width of 3.5 units.
