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.
Can a rectangle have a smaller perimeter and also a greater area?
Yes. For instance, the rectangle measuring 1 by 10 has a perimeter of 22 and an area of 10, whereas the rectangle measuring 4 by 4 has a perimeter of 16 and an area of 16.
How can the perimeter stay the same and the area change?
4x4 square: perimeter - 16 area - 16 6x2 rectangle perimeter - 16 area - 12
What is the area of a square with a perimeter of 16?
The area of a square with a perimeter of 16 is: 16 square units.
The width of a retangle is fixed at 16cm what lenghts will make the perimeter greater than 78cm?
The perimeter of a rectangle is 2 x length + 2 x width. If the width is 16 then 78 = 2 x length + 2 x 16 2 x length = 78 - 32 = 46 length = 23. For the perimeter to be greater than 78 cm, the length must be greater than 23 cm
If A square has an area of 16M2 what is the perimeter?
The perimeter is 16 meters.
Are square 16 inhes- what is perimeter?
If the area of a square is 16 square inches, the perimeter is 16 inches.
If a square has the perimeter of 16 cm what is the area?
The area is 16 cm2
What is the perimeter of a square if the area is 16 centimeters squared?
Oddly enough the perimeter is 16 centimeters.
What is the area of a square if it has a perimeter of 16 square centimeters?
A perimeter is a measure of length and so cannot be 16 square centimetres - which is a measure of area. As it happens, a square with a perimeter of 16 centimetres will have sides of 4 cm and so an area of 16 square centimetres.
How do you find the area of a rectangl if you only have the perimeter?
With great difficultly. The area could be any value greater than 0 units2 and less than or equal to the area of a square with the given perimeter which would be 1/16 x perimeter2 units2. To know which of the possible areas you would need to know the length of one side, then you can work out the area: perimeter = 2 x (length + width) ⇒ width = (1/2 x perimeter) - length ⇒ area = length x width = length x ((1/2 x perimeter) - length) = (1/2 x perimeter x length) - length2
Is there a shape with the same perimeter and area?
There is a square that has a length of 4. Area: 4 x 4: 16 Perimeter: 4+4+4+4= 16 Yes, there is a shape with the same perimeter and area.
