If a rectangle had a length of 2 and a perimeter of 2, its width would need to be negative 1. However, width, by definition is non-negative and so a width of -1 is impossible. As a result, such a rectangle cannot exist. And since it cannot exist, it cannot have an area.

156 It is impossible to calculate the area of a rectangle from its perimeter if no other dimension is known. The area of a rectangle is the product of its length and width, and the perimeter is twice the sum of its length and width.
you need length and width length multiply width = area length + length + width + width = perimeter
Area is length times width, perimeter is twice the sum of length and breadth.
perimeter is the measure around the figure; area is the measure within the figure formula: perimeter: length+length+width+width=perimeter (for square or rectangle) area: length times width= area ( for square or rectangle)
The dimensions of a rectangle are the length and the width. With these two measurements , the area of the rectangle can be calculated : Area = length x width. The perimeter can also be found : Perimeter = (2 x length) + (2 x width).
