The figure could be a rectangle with length 4.73 and width 1.27(2dp).

Area (A) of a rectangle = Length (L) x Width (W) = 6 : Then W = 6/L

Perimeter = 2 (L + W) = 12 : substituting for W then :-

2(L + 6/L) = 12 : 2L + 12/L = 12 : 2L2 - 12L + 12 = 0

Solving for a quadratic equation gives L = (12 ± √48) ÷ 4 = 3 ± √3 = 3 ± 1.73 (2dp)

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.


How does the perimeter and area of a square change when its dimensions change?

A 3 x 3 square has perimeter 12 and area 9 A 6 x 6 square has perimeter 24 and area 36 Double the dimensions, double the perimeter, quadruple the area. Mathematically, a square with side x has a perimeter of 4x and an area of x2 Doubled, a square with side 2x has a perimeter of 8x and an area of 4x2


A rectangle with the area of 12 cm2 and a perimeter of 14 cm?

If you have a rectangle with sides as follows: 4,4,3,3 the area is 12cm2 and the perimeter is 14. Area: 4cmx3cm=12cm2 Perimeter: * 4+4=8 * 3+3=6 * 8+6=14cm


What shape has an area of 12 and a perimeter of 16?

The shape that has an area of 12 and a perimeter of 16 is a rectangle. To find the dimensions of the rectangle, you can set up equations using the formulas for area and perimeter. Let the length of the rectangle be L and the width be W. The equations would be: 2L + 2W = 16 (perimeter) and LW = 12 (area). Solving these equations simultaneously will give you the dimensions of the rectangle.
