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.

not necessarily. take the example of a 3x3 square and a 4x2 rectangle. Both have a perimeter of 12. but the square has an area of 9 and the rectangle has an area of 8.


What type of rectangle has the smallest perimeter for the same area?

Can a rectangle have the same perimeter but different area explain?

No, any shape with four sides and same perimeter will always be a square.


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.


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?

If the length and width of a rectangle are multiplied by the same number, then . . . -- the perimeter is multiplied by the same number -- the area is multiplied by the square of the numbner


Do all rectangles with the same area have the same perimeter?

No, rectangles with the same area do not necessarily have the same perimeter. The perimeter of a rectangle depends on both its length and width, while the area is simply the product of these two dimensions. For instance, a rectangle measuring 2 units by 6 units has an area of 12 square units and a perimeter of 16 units, while a rectangle measuring 3 units by 4 units also has an area of 12 square units but a perimeter of 14 units. Thus, different length and width combinations can yield the same area but different perimeters.
