A rectangle had an area of 24ft2 what is the length and width of the rectangle with the greatest perimeter?
The rectangle with the smallest perimeter for a given area is the square. The rectangle with the greatestperimeter for a given area can't be specified. The longer and skinnier you make the rectangle, the greater its perimeter will become. No matter how great a perimeter you use to enclose 24 ft2, I can always specify a longer perimeter. Let me point you in that direction with a few examples: 6 ft x 4 ft = 24 ft2, perimeter = 20 ft 8 ft x 3 ft = 24 ft2, perimeter = 22 ft 12 ft x 2 ft = 24 ft2, perimeter = 28 ft 24 ft x 1 ft = 24 ft2, perimeter = 50 ft 48 ft x 6 inches = 24 ft2, perimeter = 97 ft 96 ft x 3 inches = 24 ft2, perimeter = 192.5 ft 288 ft x 1 inch = 24 ft2, perimeter = 576ft 2inches No matter how great a perimeter you find to enclose 24 ft2, I can always specify a rectangle with the same area and a longer perimeter.

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.

A square and a pentagon each have 9in sides are the perimeters the same?
no. the square has 36 inch perimeter, and the pentagon has 45 inch perimeter
Why it is possible for rectangles to have the same perimeters but different areas?
This is possible because you add perimiters but multiply areas. Consider a 2 x 4 rectangle and a 1 x 5 rectangle. The first has a perimeter of 12 (2+2+4+4), and an area of 8 (2 x 4). The second rectangle has a perimeter of 12 also (1+1+5+5), but an area of 5 (5 x 1). The closer a rectangle is to a perfect square, the larger the area will be, because a square maximizes area. A 3 x 3 square also has a perimeter of 12, but an area of 9. Heres another way to think about it: a rectangle that is one inch tall and 100 inches wide would have a perimeter of 202 inches, and an area of 100 square inches. If you added one inch to the side so that it was 101 inches wide, you would add 2 inches to the perimeter, but only one square inch to the area. However, if you made it one inch taller, you would still add 2 inches to the perimeter, but you would DOUBLE the area to 200 square inches.
