Of course. A rectangle that is 5 by 5 (yes, that's a square, but a square is a rectangle) has a perimeter of 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 20 and an area of 5 x 5 = 25. A rectangle that is 9 by 1 also has a perimeter of 20 (= 9 + 1 + 9 + 1) but an area of 9 (= 9 x 1).
the length of a rectangle is 5 more then the width. Find the perimeter and the area of the rectangle
Perimeter is the length of a closed line around an area. A rectangle is an area. If each long side of the rectangle is 12 cm and each end of the rectangle is 9 cm, the total length is 14+14+9+9 or 46 cm.
Perimeter = 2*(7+9) = 32 units.
It is not. The perimeter of a 1 cm square is 4 cm. The perimeter of a 5 km * 15 km rectangle is 4000000 cm: a million times as large!
