Not enough information. This means that there are many solutions.

Therefore, the most complete way to give an answer is in the form of a formula.

Set the definition of W and L to:

W = width of rectangle

L = length of rectangle

2W + 2L = 120 [Perimeter of 120 = (Length*2) + (Width*2)]

Which simplifies to

{W = 60-L | 0 < L <60}

(values for X and Y have to be between 0 and 60, but not exactly 0 or 60)

So replace L (length) in the simplified formula with any number that is between 0 and 60. Subtract this number from 60 to determine the corresponding width.

For example, I can replace L with 40, and the equation becomes

W = 60-40

Simplifies to

W = 20

So, one possible solution is W=20 and L=40.

If two rectangles have the same perimetre they must have the same area?

No, two rectangles with the same perimeter do not necessarily have the same area. The area of a rectangle is calculated as length multiplied by width, while the perimeter is the sum of all sides. For example, a rectangle with dimensions 2x5 (perimeter 14) has an area of 10, while a rectangle with dimensions 3x4 (also perimeter 14) has an area of 12. Thus, rectangles can have the same perimeter but different areas.

What is the length of the sides of a rectangle that has a perimeter of .875?

You can't tell the dimensions from the perimeter. There are an infinite number of different rectangles, all with different lengths and widths, that all have the same perimeter.


What is the length and width if the perimeter is 168?

You can't tell the dimensions from the perimeter. There are an infinite number of rectangles, with different dimensions, that all have the same perimeter. If it's 168, then the only thing you can be sure of is that the length and width add up to 84, but you can't tell what either of those dimensions must be.


If two rectangles have the same area must they have the same perimeter?

No, two rectangles with the same area do not necessarily have the same perimeter. For example, a rectangle with dimensions 2 x 6 has an area of 12 and a perimeter of 16, while a rectangle with dimensions 3 x 4 also has an area of 12 but a perimeter of 14. Thus, different combinations of length and width can yield the same area but different perimeters.


What dimensions give the smallest perimeter of 120ft?

The answer depends on what the 120 ft refers to. Is it a measure of a side, a diagonal or is 120 ft the perimeter and you wish to minimise something else?


Is the area the same on all rectangles with the same perimeter?

No, it is not. I'll give you two examples of a rectangle with a perimeter of 1. The first rectangle has dimensions of 1/4x1/4. The area is 1/16. The second rectangle has dimensions of 3/8x1/8. The area is 3/64. You can clearly see that these two rectangles have the same perimeter, yet the area is different.

Can 2 rectangles with the same area have different perimeters?

Yes, two rectangles can have the same area but different perimeters. The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length and width, while the perimeter is calculated by adding twice the length and twice the width. For example, a rectangle with dimensions 2x6 has an area of 12 and a perimeter of 16, while a rectangle with dimensions 3x4 also has an area of 12 but a perimeter of 14.
