Can the perimeter of a rectangle be greater than it's area?
No, because the perimeter is the outside edge and the area is the amount of space in 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.
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.
Can a shape have the same area but not perimeter?
Most shapes have different perimeter than area, as far as value.
