No. Take a square with each side 9 feet long. The perimeter is 9+9+9+9 = 36 ft and the area is 9 x 9 = 81 square feet.
Now squash the square down a bit so that it is a 7 x 11 rectangle. The perimeter is still 36 ft, but the area is now smaller at 77 square feet.
Squash it right down to just 1 ft tall by 17 ft wide and the perimeter is still 36 ft, but the area is now just 17 square feet.
So for any given perimeter, the closer the shape of a rectangle is to a square, the larger will be the area.

Why does rectangles have the same area and perimeter?
they dont
How many rectangles have the same area and perimeter of 18?
thare is only 1 differint rectangles
What are some rectangles with the area the same as the perimeter?
A rectangle cannot really have the same area and perimeter because an area is a 2-dimensional concept while a perimeter is 1-dimensional.However, you can have rectangles such that the numericalvalue of their area and perimeter are the same.Take any number x > 2 and let y = 2x/(x-2)Then a rectangle with sides of x and y has an area and perimeter whose value is 2x2/(x-2)
Find 4 rectangles with same area with different perimeter?
10cm by 10cm (perimeter=40cm), 5cm by 20cm (perimeter=50cm), 50cm by 2cm (perimeter=104cm), 100cm by 1cm (perimeter=202cm). All of these rectangles' areas are 100cm2
Is the area the same on all rectangles with the same perimeter?
No, it is not. I'll give you two examples of a rectangle with a perimeter of 1. The first rectangle has dimensions of 1/4x1/4. The area is 1/16. The second rectangle has dimensions of 3/8x1/8. The area is 3/64. You can clearly see that these two rectangles have the same perimeter, yet the area is different.
