    For area A, the width will be √ (3A/4), so for the three rugs, the widths are 6 ft, 9 ft, 12 ft. Corresponding lengths are 4/3 times that, so are 8 ft, 12 ft, 16 ft.

    The rug dimensions are

    ... 6 ft x 8 ft

    ... 9 ft x 12 ft

    ... 12 ft x 16 ft

    Pick the one (s) that are on your list.
