Well, well, well, aren't we getting fancy with our geometry questions? If the perimeter of a rectangle is 16cm, that means the sum of all its sides is 16cm. Since a rectangle has two pairs of equal sides, we can divide 16cm by 4 to get each side length, which is 4cm. To find the area, you simply multiply the length and width, so the area of this rectangle would be 16 square centimeters.
Any area you want greater than 0 cm2 and less than or equal to 16 cm2.
perimeter_of_rectangle = 2 x (width + length)
16 cm = 2 x (width + length)
⇒ width + length = 8 cm
⇒ length = 8 cm - width
Neither dimension can be negative, so they are both greater than 0 cm and less than 8 cm.
Area_of_rectangle = width x length
⇒ area = width x (8 cm - width)
= 8 x width - width2 cm2
This has a minimum value when width = 0 cm or 8cm of 0 cm2, so the area of the perimeter must be greater than 0 cm2 (as the width can be neither 0 cm nor 8 cm).
This has a maximum value when width = 4 cm:
max_area = 8 x 4 - 42 cm2 = 16 cm2.
when the width is between 0 cm and 4 cm (and so the length is between 8 cm and 4 cm) the area is between 0 cm2 and 16 cm2
When the width = 4 cm, the length is also 4 cm, that is the rectangle is a square.

What are the dimensions of a rectangle that has a perimeter of 16cm and has the greatest possible area?
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.
6cm by 2cm What is the perimeter?
Well, honey, the perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by adding up all the sides. So for a rectangle that's 6cm by 2cm, you just do 6 + 6 + 2 + 2 which equals 16cm. There you go, darling, hope that helps!
What is the area of a square if the perimeter is 16 cm?
The area of square is : 256.0
The length of a rectangle is twice its width If the perimeter of the rectangle is 54y find its area?
The length of a rectangle is twice its width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is , find its area.
What is the perimeter of a rectangle with an area of 24cm?
The perimeter of the rectangle is the sum of its 4 sides.
How long is the perimeter of a 5cm by 3cm rectangle?
16cm.
How long is the perimeter of A rectangle with sides of 5cm and 3cm?
Perimeter of rectangle: 5+3+5+3 = 16cm
What are the dimensions of a rectangle that has a perimeter of 16cm and has the greatest possible area?
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.
What does the shape with the area of 15cm2 and the perimeter of 16cm look like?
Oh honey, that shape is a rectangle. It has sides measuring 5cm and 3cm, giving you an area of 15cm² and a perimeter of 16cm. It's as straightforward as a line at the DMV, darling.
What shape has a perimeter of 16cm?
anything imaginary but a real shape would be a square or rectangle.
The area of a rectangle is 16cm one side is 2cm long what is the permeter of rectangle?
The perimeter is all the way around the shape so it would be.. 16 + 16 + 2 + 2 = 36. Therefore th perimeter must be 36cm.
6cm by 2cm What is the perimeter?
Well, honey, the perimeter of a rectangle is calculated by adding up all the sides. So for a rectangle that's 6cm by 2cm, you just do 6 + 6 + 2 + 2 which equals 16cm. There you go, darling, hope that helps!
A regular hexagon has 4cm long sideFind its perimeter and area?
16cm
What is the area of a square if the perimeter is 16 cm?
The area of square is : 256.0
The area of a rectangle is 100 inches the perimeter is 40 a second rectangle has the same area but a different perimeter. Is the second rectangle a square?
the area of a rectangleis 100 square inches. The perimeter of the rectangle is 40 inches. A second rectangle has the same area but a different perimeter. Is the secind rectangle a square? Explain why or why not.
If same area in a rectangle does that mean same perimeter?
No. For example, a 4x1 rectangle will have an area of 4 and a perimeter of 10. A 2x2 rectangle will have the same area of 4, but a perimeter of 8.
The length of a rectangle is twice its width If the perimeter of the rectangle is 54y find its area?
The length of a rectangle is twice its width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is , find its area.
