Perimeter is just the measure around the outside of the figure.
The square has to have all the sides of equal length, so they must be 25 feet (25x4=100)
The rectangle needs to have 2 sides of equal length and 2 sides of a different equal length. They could be 30 ft, 30 ft, 20 ft, 20 ft....or 45 ft, 45 ft, 5 ft, 5 ft,.
As long as the first 2 sides together equal more than 50 ft (more than half), then the last two sides equal (100-first two sides) divided by 2 sides.

When you think about it for a while, they're really NOT different. The rectangle formula needs a bit more detail, because its sides don't all have the same length, so its length and its width have to be handled separately. But the rectangle formula works perfectly well if you use it to find the perimeter of a square.
