Let's try and find one and that will answer the question. We don't need to finish the job of finding one, just to get to the point where we can say yes or no for sure.

Let the length be L and the width be W

2L+2W=22
LW=20

So L=20/W

Now substitute that into the first equation
Yes

2(20/W)+2W=22
40/W+2W=22
(40+2W2 )/W=22
22W=(40+2W2 )
This is a quadratic equation

2W2 -22W+40=0

or
W2 -11W+20=0

We don't need to solve the equation to answer the question.
The discriminant ((-11)2 -4(20)=41 which is positive so there are two real roots. That means two values for W.
This tells us there is rectangle with those dimensions.

8.7 and 2.3 are the approximate dimensions of the desired rectangle, in case you want to know.

What is the perimeter of a rectangle has an area of 5cm square?

The perimeter of a rectangle cannot be determined with the area alone as the lengths could vary. For example, the perimeter of the rectangle could be 12 (1 and 5) or 9 (2 and 2.5). For both cases, the area is still 5cm2, but the length can still change to result in different results.

What is the effect on the perimeter of a rectangle if the dimension are doubled what is the effect on its area?

Let's take a look at this problem.Rectangle Perimeter = 2(l + w)Rectangle Perimeter =? 2(2l + 2w)Rectangle Perimeter =? (2)(2)(l + w)2(Rectangle Perimeter) = 2[2(l + w)]Thus, we can say that the perimeter of a rectangle is doubled when its dimensions are doubled.Rectangle Area = lwRectangle Area =? (2l)(2w)Rectangle Area =? 4lw4(Rectangle Area) = 4lwThus, we can say that the area of a rectangle is quadruplicated when its dimensions are doubled.
