Assuming no fractional dimensions, least possible area would be a rectangle measuring 1cm x 9cm. Area increases to a maximum of 25 sq cm when shape is square, ie 5cm x 5cm.

How do you draw a rectangle with an area of 18 square centimeters and perimeter of 18 centimeters?

Draw it with dimensions of (6 cm) by (3 cm).


How you could use grid paper to draw a rectangle with a perimeter of 18 units?

Since the perimeter is 18, the sum of the length and breadth is 18/2 units = 9 units. Draw a straight line on the grid of less than 9 units. At right angles to that line, draw another line so that the two lines have a combined length of 9 units. These two lines are the two adjacent lines of the rectangle. Use the grid to draw line parallel to these so that you have a rectangle.


How many different rectangles can you draw with a perimeter of 16 cm?

It depends what units you use for each side ! A 1cm x 15cm rectangle has a perimeter of 16cm. So does a 2cm x 4cm one ! If you start using millimetres, there are many more possibilities !


Rectangle A is width 4 and length 8 so draw similar rectangle scale factor 2.5?

Draw a 10 x 20 rectangle.


Draw 2 rectangles for the perimeter of 10cm one with the least area and one with the greatest area?

The greatest area is when the rectangle is a square. A perimeter of 10cm equates to each side of square measuring 2.5cm and then the area = 2.52 = 6.25 sq cm. The least area occurs when the rectangle is shaped like a long, narrow slit. So that the length is as close to 5cm as possible and the width is as narrow as possible. Let's say that the length is 4.9 cm and the width 0.1 cm, then the area = 4.9 x 0.1 = 0.49 sq cm. If these dimensions are changed slightly to length 4.95 and width 0.05 then the area = 4.95 x 0.05 = 0.2475 sq cm. As the length gets closer to 5 then the width gets closer to 0 and the area becomes almost 0 sq cm.
