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

What is the perimeter and area of a figure with length of 9ft and width of 6ft?

If you assume that the area in question is a rectangle, then Perimeter = 2*(L+ B) = 2*(9 + 6) = 2*15 = 30 feet Area = L*B = 9*6 = 54 square feet

Is it possible to make a shape of an area of 12 and a perimeter of 16?

Yes a 2 by 6 rectangle for example.


Do all shapes with fixed perimeter have same area?

nope because if u have a square with a side length of 4 then the perimeter is 16 and the area is 16 and say if u have a rectangle with side lengths of 2 and 6 then the perimeter is 16 but the area is 12 so the answer is no


What are the comparisons of area and perimeter?

perimeter is the space around an object, area is the space inside of an object.A 4x6 rectangle has a perimeter of 4 + 6 + 4 + 6,A 4x6 rectangle has an area of 4 x 6.
