Best Answer

Yes (apart from units):

If the side of a square is 4cm then its

  • perimeter is 4cm + 4cm + 4cm + 4cm = 4 x 4cm = 16cm;
  • area is 4cm x 4cm = 16cm2

Is it possible to have a rectangle with the same perimeter and area?

NO, because if you did it would be a square


A shape with the same area and perimeter?

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.


If two shapes have the same perimeter will they have the same area?

Not at all. For example:A square of 2 x 2 will have a perimeter of 8, and an area of 4. A rectangle of 3 x 1 will also have a perimeter of 8, and an area of 3.A "rectangle" of 4 x 0 will also have a perimeter of 8, but the area has shrunk down to zero. The circle has the largest area for a given perimeter/circumference.


Is area of triangle and perimeter of triangle are same?

Answer: absolutely not! Answer: No. For starters, the area uses units of area (for example, square centimeters), while the perimeter uses units of length (For example, centimeters).


What is the perimeter of 575 square units?

You can't tell. The area doesn't tell you the dimensions. There are an infinite number of different shapes with different dimensions and different perimeters that all have the same area. -- If the 575 square units of area are in the shape of a circle, then the radius of the circle is 13.53 units and the perimeter (circumference) is 85 units. (rounded) -- If the 575 square units of area are in the shape of a square, then each side of the square is 23.98 units and the perimeter is 95.92 units. (rounded) -- The 575 square units of area could also be a (23 x 25) rectangle, with perimeter of 96. -- The 575 square units of area could also be a (115 x 5) rectangle, with perimeter of 240. -- The 575 square units of area could also be a (575 x 1) rectangle, with perimeter of 1,152.

What shape has the same perimeter and area?

A square 4 squares in the middle and 4 lines out so it has to be a square!!! actually a square does not have the same perimeter and area a 4x4 area square has 8 perimeter so no squares do not but i have made a shape that has 32 perimeter and 32 area so it is possible and we don't want to tell you what the shape is. i already gave you too much information with the 32.... << inccorect A 4x4 square does have the same perimeter and area 4x4=16 4+4+4+4=16 But there are also other shapes such as a circle witha diameter of 2 A right angled triangle with sides of 6, and 8 and the hypotenuse being 10 has the same area as perimeter.


What is the perimeter if the area is 4785 feet?

Knowing the area doesn't tell you the perimeter. There are an infinite number of different sizes and shapes with different perimeters that all have the same area. The shortest possible perimeter for any area is a circle. The shortest possible perimeter for any area with straight sides is a square. And also by the way, there are many different units for area. "Feet" is not one of them. "Square feet" is.


Is it possible for two shapes to have the same area but different perimeters?

Yes it is possible. Consider these two shapes with the same area: a 2-inch square and a 1-inch x 4-inch rectangle both have the same area of 4 sq inches. However, the square has a perimeter of 8 inches while the rectangle has a perimeter of 10 inches. By the way, the shape with the largest area for a given perimeter is a circle.


Does a square with dimensions of 4000 by 4000 have the same area and perimeter?

no the area is 16,000,000 the perimeter is 16,000


The area of a rectangle is 100 inches the perimeter is 40 a second rectangle has the same area but a different perimeter. Is the second rectangle a square?

the area of a rectangleis 100 square inches. The perimeter of the rectangle is 40 inches. A second rectangle has the same area but a different perimeter. Is the secind rectangle a square? Explain why or why not.


Do all rectangles with the same perimeter have the same area?

No. Here are four rectangles with the same perimeter:1 by 6 . . . . . perimeter = 14, area = 62 by 5 . . . . . perimeter = 14, area = 103 by 4 . . . . . perimeter = 14, area = 1231/2 by 31/2 . . perimeter = 14, area = 121/4With all the same perimeter . . . -- The nearer it is to being square, the more area it has.-- The longer and skinnier it is, the less area it has. If somebody gives you some wire fence and tells you to put it uparound the most possible area, your first choice is to put it up ina circle, and your second choice is to put it up in a square. Rectanglesare out, if you can avoid them.

a square


Do figures with the same perimeter have the same area?

not necessarily. take the example of a 3x3 square and a 4x2 rectangle. Both have a perimeter of 12. but the square has an area of 9 and the rectangle has an area of 8.


Can a square have the same perimeter and area?

The area and perimeter might be written with the same number,but they can't be 'the same' because they have different units.If the length of the side of the square is 4 feet, thenits perimeter is 16 feet and its area is 16 square feet.These are not 'the same'.


How can the perimeter stay the same and the area change?

4x4 square: perimeter - 16 area - 16 6x2 rectangle perimeter - 16 area - 12


Why the area and the perimeter of a figure can never be equal?

The area and perimeter cannot be equal because the perimeter is a linear measure while an area is a square measure. However, it is perfectly possible for them to have the same numerical value. For example, a 3cm by 6 cm square has a perimeter of 2*(3+6) = 18 cm and an area or 3*6 = 18 sq cm.
