Best Answer

Yes, because a square is a rectangle.

You can have a square where all four sides are 3 units, making the perimeter 12 units. You can then have a rectangle where the sides are 4 and 2 units; 4+4+2+2=12.

How do you find the perimeter of a rectangle when only the area is given?

You cannot find the perimeter unless the rectangle is a regular rectangle (a square) in which case the perimeter is 4 times the square root of the area. With just the area the shape of the rectangle could be any number of shapes with different perimeter, for example, imagine 6 square units 1cm by 1cm arranged in a 1*6 configuration to give a long thin rectangle, the perimeter would be 6+6+1+1=14cm, the same 6 arranged in a 3*2 rectangle would have the same area, but a perimeter of 3+3+2+2=10cm, for this reason a rectangle's perimeter cannot be determined from the area alone.
