The effective rate is calculated in the following way:

where r is the effective annual rate, i the interest rate, and n the number of compounding periods per year (for example, 12 for monthly compounding).
our compounding period is 2 since the bank pays us semiannually(two times per year) and our interest rate is 8%
so lets plug in numbers:
Rectangular with whole numbers
perimiter=legnth+legnth+width+width=2l+2w
therefor
p=2l+2w=2(l+w)
p/2=l+w
perimiter=20
20=2l+2w
divide by 2 to make simpler
10=l+w
find all combos
l>w so
l=9 and w=1
l=8 and w=2
l=7 and w=3
l=6 and w=4
combos
