Is it sometimes always or never true that the perimeter of a rectangle is greater than the area?
Girlloves4h
It depends on the length and width...
The smaller of the length and the width, the perimeter is greater than the area...
But..
The bigger of the length and width, the area is greater than the perimeter.
example : length = 5 , width = 2
AREA = 5 x 2 = 10
Perimeter = 2 x ( 5 + 2 ) = 14
example : length = 9 , width = 6
AREA = 9 x 6 = 54
Perimeter = 2 x (9 + 6) = 30
you can see the different.....

Is it sometimes always or never true that the perimeter of a rectangle is numerically greater than its area?
Sometimes. Experiment with a small square and with a large square (though any shape rectangle will do). A square of 4 x 4 has a perimeter of 16, and an area of 16. A smaller square has more perimeter than area. A larger square has more area than perimeter.
Why is the perimeter of a rectangle always even?
The perimeter of a rectangle is always even because the perimeter is twice the length plus twice the width. Whenever you multiply a number by 2, the product is even. When you add two even numbers the sum is even.
Are rectangle and rhombus always squares?
A rectangle is sometimes a square, but not always. When it is, it's also a rhombus. A rhombus is sometimes a square, but not always. When it is, it's also a rectangle. A square is always a rhombus and always a rectangle. Rectangles, rhombera, and squares are always parallelograms and quadrilaterals.
How does increasing the dimensions of a rectangle impact the perimeter?
If you increase the rectangle's length by a value, its perimeter increases by twice that value. If you increase the rectangle's width by a value, its perimeter increases by twice that value. (A rectangle is defined by its length and width, and opposite sides of a rectangle are the same length. The lines always meet at their endpoints at 90° angles.)
Is a parallelogram is always sometimes or never a rectangle?
is sometimes
Is The area of a rectangle always greater than the perimeter?
To answer this simply try a few out for yourself. In a 2x1 cm rectangle, the area is 2 cm squared and the perimeter is 6 cm In a 12x10 rectangle, the area is 120 cm squared and the perimeter is 44 cm. In some cases, the perimeter is larger and in others it is smaller. To answer your question, no, the perimeter of a rectangle is NOT always greater than its area.

In general describe the rectangle that has the least area for a fixed perimeter?
For a fixed perimeter, the area will always be the same, regardless of how you describe the rectangle.
Is perimeter always greater than the area?
No the area is almost always greater.
Why is the perimeter of a rectangle always even?
The perimeter of a rectangle is always even because the perimeter is twice the length plus twice the width. Whenever you multiply a number by 2, the product is even. When you add two even numbers the sum is even.
Does changing the area always change the perimeter?
No. A rectangle of 1 x 3 has the same perimeter as a rectangle of 2 x 2, but the areas are different.
Are rectangle and rhombus always squares?
A rectangle is sometimes a square, but not always. When it is, it's also a rhombus. A rhombus is sometimes a square, but not always. When it is, it's also a rectangle.
