To find the dimensions of the rectangle, we need to set up equations based on the given area and perimeter. The area of a rectangle is length multiplied by width, so length times width equals 12 cm. The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula 2(length + width), which in this case equals 16 cm. By solving these two equations simultaneously, we can find the dimensions of the rectangle.

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.
The greatest area that a rectangle can have is, in fact, attained when it is a square. A square with perimeter of 16 cm must have sides of 4 cm and so an area of 4*4 = 16 cm2.
the answer is 16 cm and that is the perimeter.
16 metres.
in this problem solving in a rectangle width is 3 and the perimeter is 16 what is he length
