Yes
b x h = 36
b = h = 6 = sqaure
b = 9 and h = 4 = rectangle
b = 18 and h = 2 = rectangle, etc.

They will be both the same because the perimeter of the square is 32 units and the perimeter of the rectangle is also 32 units
Area and perimeterA square is a special form of rectangle having four equal sides. If each side of the square measures four units, then the perimeter is 16 units and the area is 16 square units. Note that the magnitude -- 16 -- is the same but the units are different. The above can be shown algebraically.If P = 4s and A = s2, then setting P = A yields4s = s24 = s.Their is one other solution when the rectangle is not a square. If two sides are 6 and two sides are 3, the area and the perimeter are the same as well.2(6) + 2(3) = P12 + 6 = P18 = P3 * 6 = A18 = AP = A
Make sure you know the length and width of the rectangle in the SAME UNITS ... both in inches, or both in meters etc. Then just multiply the two numbers ... Length x Width. The answer is the area of the rectangle.
The area of a rectangle is (length) multiplied by (width). The units don't matter. Just make sure that 'length' and 'width' are both measured in the same unit, whatever the unit is.
Right triange with both sides around the 90 degrees = 4 with a right trianle the area = 1/2 * height * width (think of it as half a rectangle)
