yes. A rectangle is any 4 sided 2 shape, while a square is a 4 sided shape with equal sides. A square is a rectangle, but a rectangle is not a square.

The above answer does not address the question that was asked.

Technically, squares are a proper subset of rectangles. In that respect, any square is a rectangle as well and so the answer to the question is yes. However, if considering squares and non-square rectangles, the answer is no.

The previous answer is not correct, however. A rectangle is NOT any 4 sided 2 shape. A rectangle must have four right angles and two pairs of equal opposite sides.

How do you find the perimeter of a rectangle when only the area is given?

You cannot find the perimeter unless the rectangle is a regular rectangle (a square) in which case the perimeter is 4 times the square root of the area. With just the area the shape of the rectangle could be any number of shapes with different perimeter, for example, imagine 6 square units 1cm by 1cm arranged in a 1*6 configuration to give a long thin rectangle, the perimeter would be 6+6+1+1=14cm, the same 6 arranged in a 3*2 rectangle would have the same area, but a perimeter of 3+3+2+2=10cm, for this reason a rectangle's perimeter cannot be determined from the area alone.


What happens to the perimeter and the area of a rectangle if the length and the width are multiplied by the same number Use diagrams to explain?
