As a perimeter is a measure of length and has different units to those measuring an area then it is the numerical value that is the same.

CIRCLE : area = perimeter occurs when πr2 = 2πr = : r = 2

SQUARE : area = perimeter when d2 = 4d : d = 4, where d is the length of a side.

Shapes with the same perimeter do they have the same area?

No.It is not possible for the shape with the same perimeter to have the same area. This is because, to do this, you would have to cut up two shapes into eight pieces, add the amount of them all together and divide them by 7.559832076. By doing this you are breaking the seventh note, this is against the laws of trigonometry there by breaking this rule of concentration, so this statment; having shapes with the same perimeter have the same area, is therefor not true!Thank you.


How do you work out area in cm2 from perimeter?

If the sides are in cm, then you would multiply the length of the shape by the width, which equals area. And area is in the unit of the sides but squared. So in this example it would be cm2. ========================================= The answer to the question is: You can't. The perimeter doesn't tell you what the area is. You can have two different drawings with the same perimeter and different areas, or with the same area and different perimeters. Even if they're both triangles, or both rectangles, etc. You can't take perimeter and 'work out' area from it.


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 perimeter of 5000 square meters?

The area doesn't tell you the dimensions or the perimeter. It doesn't even tell you the shape. The shortest perimeter that could enclose that area would be a circle. The shortest perimeter with straight sides would be a square. If it's a rectangle, then there are an infinite number of them, all with different dimensions and different perimeters, that all have the same area.


Show you 2 rectanglesthat have the same area and different perimeter?

A rectangle with sides of 1cm and 6cm has an area of 6 cm2 and a perimeter of 14 cm. A rectangle with sides of 2cm and 3cm has the same area but its perimeter is 10 cm.

What shapes have the same perimeter but different areas?

Most shapes can have the same area and different perimeters. For example the right size square and circle will have the same are but they will have different perimeters. You can draw an infinite number of triangles with the same area but different perimeters. This is before we think about all the other shapes out there.
