The greatest area is attained when the rectangle is, in fact, a square. Then it has sides of 5 cm and an area of 25 cm2. If you are not permitted to have a square then the answer is as close to 25 cm2 as you can get without actually getting there. So, more than 24.99, more than 24.99999 etc but never quite 25.

How do you find the area of a rectangle with a perimeter of 36m?
how do you find the area of a rectangle witha perimeter of 36 in You don't. You need more information For example a 1 x 17 rectangle has a perimeter of 36 and its area is 17. But a 2 x 16 rectangle also has a perimeter of 36 and its area is 32.
Can a rectangle have a greater perimeter than another one but have a greater area too?
yes it can; a rectangle 5 by 2 has perimeter 14 and area 10 for example; a rectangle 10 by 2 has perimeter 24 and area 20, both greater.
Can a rectangle have a greater perimeter and also have a greater area?
Of course, a rectangle can have a greater perimeter and a greater area. Simply double all the sides: the perimeter is doubled and the area is quadrupled - both bigger than they were.
How is perimeter and area related in a rectangle?
The perimeter of a rectangle is the distance around the rectangle. The area of a rectangle is the space inside the rectangle. To calculate either one you need the length and the width of the rectangle. To calculate the area multiply the length times the width. To calculate the perimeter add the length+width+length+width (that is the distance all the way around)
Can you show a rectangle with an area of 20cm square and 18cm perimeter?
The dimensions of the rectangle are 5 cm by 4 cm
Which rectangle has the greatest area for a fixed perimeter?
The greatest area for a fixed perimeter will be when all the sides are equal or when the rectangle approaches the shape of a square.
What is the area of a trapezoid if the perimeter is 32?
Unlike a square, knowing the perimeter of a trapezoid is not enough to be able to calculate its area. Think of a rectangle with a perimeter of 20cm. One possibility is that it has a length of 8cm and a width of 2cm. This would give and area of 16cm2. However the rectangle could have also had a length of 7cm and a width of 3cm as this would also give a perimeter of 20cm. However this rectangle now has an area of 21cm2. To be able to calculate the area of the trapezoid, you would need to know more about it than just its perimeter.

What are the dimensions of a rectangle that has a perimeter of 16cm and has the greatest possible area?
The greatest area that a rectangle can have is, in fact, attained when it is a square. A square with perimeter of 16 cm must have sides of 4 cm and so an area of 4*4 = 16 cm2.
