General question: how do you find constraints in an optimization problem?

For example, in this question:\"Find two natural numbers whose sum is 16 and whose product is a maximum.\" the solution states that the constraint is that x would be between 1 and 15. Why not 0?

In another example, where the questions asks \"The perimeter of a rectangle is 24 cm. Find the dimensions of the rectangle of maximum area. What is the maximum area?\", the constraint is listed as length is between 0 and 12?

So why is 0 listed here and not in the first question?
