Can a rectangle have a smaller perimeter and also a greater area?
Yes. For instance, the rectangle measuring 1 by 10 has a perimeter of 22 and an area of 10, whereas the rectangle measuring 4 by 4 has a perimeter of 16 and an area of 16.
What would be a greater perimeter but a smaller area to a question of 24 and a area of 27?
Perimeter = 24 and area = 27 . . . . . rectangle, 3 by 9 Perimeter = 32 and area = 15 . . . . . rectangle, 1 by 15
What are the dimensions of the rectangle with the smallest perimeter?
There are almost infinite possibilities as you get smaller and smaller
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.
Is it sometimes always or never true that the perimeter of a rectangle is greater than the area?
It depends on the length and width... The smaller of the length and the width, the perimeter is greater than the area... But.. The bigger of the length and width, the area is greater than the perimeter. example : length = 5 , width = 2 AREA = 5 x 2 = 10 Perimeter = 2 x ( 5 + 2 ) = 14 example : length = 9 , width = 6 AREA = 9 x 6 = 54 Perimeter = 2 x (9 + 6) = 30 you can see the different.....

Is The area of a rectangle always greater than the perimeter?
To answer this simply try a few out for yourself. In a 2x1 cm rectangle, the area is 2 cm squared and the perimeter is 6 cm In a 12x10 rectangle, the area is 120 cm squared and the perimeter is 44 cm. In some cases, the perimeter is larger and in others it is smaller. To answer your question, no, the perimeter of a rectangle is NOT always greater than its area.

Is it possible for a shape to have the same area but different perimeter?
Answer: Yes. A polygon can have the same perimeter length but smaller area than another polygon. Answer: For congruent or similar shapes, no. For different shapes, yes. Consider, for example, a rectangle 3 x 1, and another rectangle 2 x 2. They have different areas, but the same perimeter.

What are the dimensions of the rectangle with an area of 100 square units and whole-number side lengths that have the smallest perimeter?
It is 5 units * 20 units. A smaller perimeter can be attained by a square but the question specified a rectangle.
Who do you draw a rectangle with the Area 4 perimeter 6?
It's impossible. The largest area for a rectangle with perimeter of 6 is 2.25, a perfect square with a length of 1.5 for each side. Any other combination yields a smaller area.

Is the perimiter of 11 by 12 rectangle smaller or larger than the perimiter of a sqare with the same area?
11 x 12 rectangle has a larger perimeter = 46 units The 132 square unit area will give a square a perimeter of 45.9565 units
If the area is 350square feet what is the perimeter?
There is insufficient information to answer the question. For a given area, the perimeter depends upon the shape. For a given area, the circle will have the smallest perimeter. For polygons, regular polygons will have a smaller perimeter than an irregular one of the same area. Also, for regular polygons, the greater the number of sides, the smaller the perimeter.
If you remove a square from the area of a shape will its perimeter get smaller?
No, the area will get smaller, not the perimeter.
