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.

MaxineWell, honey, that shape would be a rectangle. It has an area of 12 and a perimeter of 16, which means the length and width would be 4 and 3, respectively. So, grab a ruler and get to measuring those sides!

What is the perimeter and area of a shape that has equal sides of 4m?
A shape is a nebulous term. It may mean a triangle, a square, or a pentagon in 2D, or a block or pyramid in 3D etc. The perimeter and area cannot be found without defining the shape first. How many dimensions? How many sides? For example, if the shape is a square, which has 4 edges, its perimeter = 4 * 4 [m] = 16 [m] and its area = 4 [m] * 4 [m] = 16 [m^2].
When is area equal to perimeter?
Strictly speaking an area cannot equal a perimeter because an area is a two dimensional concept while a perimeter is one dimensional. A shape can have the same number for its perimeter and its diameter but then thanks to the dimensionality of these measures, this is totally dependant on the units of measurement used.For example a 4m * 4m square has an area of 16 m2 and a perimeter of 16 m. So far so good.But the same shape could be describes as a 400cm * 400 cm square. Now area = 160000 cm2 while perimeter = 1600 cm.Or, 13.1234 ft*13.1234 ft giving an area of 172.2226 square ft and a perimeter of 52.4934 ft.So, through appropriate choice of the unit of measurement, the area and perimeter of any shape can be made numerically equal.
What is the area of a square with a perimeter of 16?
The area of a square with a perimeter of 16 is: 16 square units.
If A square has an area of 16M2 what is the perimeter?
The perimeter is 16 meters.
If a square has the perimeter of 16 cm what is the area?
The area is 16 cm2
Is there a shape with the same perimeter and area?
There is a square that has a length of 4. Area: 4 x 4: 16 Perimeter: 4+4+4+4= 16 Yes, there is a shape with the same perimeter and area.
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.
How can the perimeter stay the same and the area change?
4x4 square: perimeter - 16 area - 16 6x2 rectangle perimeter - 16 area - 12
What is the perimeter and area of a garden that is 12 feet wide and 16 foot long?
Perimeter = 12+12+16+16 = 56 feet Area = 12*16 = 192 square feet
What is the perimeter of 16 and 12 of the shape of a rectangle?
56
What is the perimeter and the area of a rectangle that is 12 feet x 16 feet?
A rectangle has 2 pairs of equal sides. perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides: Perimeter = 12 + 12 + 16 + 16 = 56 Ft Area = 12 x 16 = 192 Ft2
What shape has a perimeter of 16 and area of 15?
A 5 by 3 rectangle
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 is the area that has a 16 cm perimeter?
It depends on the shape. Any area up to 20.37 square cm is possible.
What is the perimeter for 16 tiles that are 1 inch?
The perimeter of each tile is 4 inches. So the perimeter of 16 tiles - separately - is 4*16 = 64 inches. The perimeter of a 16-tile shape depends on the shape.
Is it sometimes always or never true that the perimeter of a rectangle is numerically greater than its area?
Sometimes. Experiment with a small square and with a large square (though any shape rectangle will do). A square of 4 x 4 has a perimeter of 16, and an area of 16. A smaller square has more perimeter than area. A larger square has more area than perimeter.
What shape has the same perimeter and area?
A square 4 squares in the middle and 4 lines out so it has to be a square!!! actually a square does not have the same perimeter and area a 4x4 area square has 8 perimeter so no squares do not but i have made a shape that has 32 perimeter and 32 area so it is possible and we don't want to tell you what the shape is. i already gave you too much information with the 32.... << inccorect A 4x4 square does have the same perimeter and area 4x4=16 4+4+4+4=16 But there are also other shapes such as a circle witha diameter of 2 A right angled triangle with sides of 6, and 8 and the hypotenuse being 10 has the same area as perimeter.
