Easy.

Rectangle #1: 2-ft x 4-ft

Perimeter = 12-ft

Area = 8 square ft

Rectangle #2: 1-ft x 8-ft

Perimeter = 18-ft.

Area = 8 square ft

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.


Is it true that the greater the perimeter the greater the area?

No, in general that is not true. For two similar figures it is true. But you can easily design two different figures that have the same perimeters and different areas, or the same area and different perimeters. For example, two rectangles with a different length-to-width ratio.


If two rectangles have the same area do they have the same perimeter too explain how you know?

Not necessarily. For instance If you take two rectangles whose area's are 36in squared. One could be 6 by 6 while the other could be 9 by 4. Thus ones Perimeter would be 24in with the others would be 26in.


What is the area of a rectangle with a perimeter of 42cm?

You can't tell the area from knowing the perimeter. There are an infinite number of different rectangles, all with the same perimeter, that all have different areas. Here are a few rectangles that all have perimeters of 42. The last number after each one is its area: 1 cm by 20 cm . . . . . 20 square centimeters 2 x 19 . . . . . 38 3 x 18 . . . . . 54 4 x 17 . . . . . 68 5 x 16 . . . . . 80 10 x 11 . . . 110


What is the area of a rectangle with a perimeter of 28cm?

You can't tell. The perimeter doesn't tell you the area. There are an infinite number of rectangles that all have the same perimeter but different areas. Here are a few that all have perimeters of 28 cm: 1 x 13 . . . . . Area = 13 2 x 12 . . . . . Area = 24 3 x 11 . . . . . Area = 33 4 x 10 . . . . . Area = 40 5 x 9 . . . . . Area = 45 6 x 8 . . . . .

Do two different rectangles with the same perimeter necessarily have the same area?

Can different rectangles have the same area and perimeter?

It's very easy for two rectangles to have the same area and different perimeters,or the same perimeter and different areas. In either case, it would be obvious toyou when you see them that there's something different about them, and theywould not fit one on top of the other.But if two rectangles have the same area and the same perimeter, then to look at themyou'd swear that they're the same rectangle, and one could be laid down on the otherand fit exactly.

What is the perimeter of a rectangle whose area is 21?

That depends on the rectangle! You can have different rectangles with the same area, but with different perimeters.


What is the perimeter in meters of a 28 acre field?

The perimeter for a certain area varies, depending on the figure. For example, a circle, different ellipses, a square, different rectangles, and different shapes of triangles, all have different perimeters or circumferences, for the same area.The perimeter for a certain area varies, depending on the figure.

Find 4 rectangles with same area with different perimeter?

10cm by 10cm (perimeter=40cm), 5cm by 20cm (perimeter=50cm), 50cm by 2cm (perimeter=104cm), 100cm by 1cm (perimeter=202cm). All of these rectangles' areas are 100cm2


If the area of the rectangle is 320cm squared find its perimeter?

Not enough data. Different rectangles (different length:width ratios) can have the same area, but different perimeters.


If two rectangles have the same area do they also have to have the same perimeter?

Not necessarily. Let's say that there is a circle with the area of 10. Now there is a star with the area of 10. They do not have the same perimeter, do they? That still applies with rectangles. There might be a very long skinny rectangle and a square next to each other with the same area, but that does not mean that they have the same perimeter. Now if the rectangles are congruent then yes.


Is the area the same on all rectangles with the same perimeter?

No, it is not. I'll give you two examples of a rectangle with a perimeter of 1. The first rectangle has dimensions of 1/4x1/4. The area is 1/16. The second rectangle has dimensions of 3/8x1/8. The area is 3/64. You can clearly see that these two rectangles have the same perimeter, yet the area is different.

Draw 2 rectangles with same perimeter but difference area?

This browser is hopeless for drawing but consider the following two rectangles: a*b and (a+1)*(b-1). Their perimeter will be 2a+2b but unless a = b-1, their area will be different.


Can a rectangles perimeter be the same as the area?

Yes, it can because a 3 by 6 rectangle has the perimeter of 18 and has the area of 18! :)
