The perimeter of a square is 4 * the length of a side, and the area is the length of a side squared. So, since you want the two things to be equal, you can set up an equation: 4s = s2.
In this case, we can assume that s is positive and non-zero, since we're looking for the length of something that exists, so in this instance, we can divide both sides by our variable s. (You can't always make this assumption in algebra.) Doing so, we get s = 4. So a square that has sides of length 4 has an equal perimeter and area.

If same area in a rectangle does that mean same perimeter?
No. For example, a 4x1 rectangle will have an area of 4 and a perimeter of 10. A 2x2 rectangle will have the same area of 4, but a perimeter of 8.
If two squares have the same area what do you know about the perimeter?
Then they both will have the same perimeter
Does a square with dimensions of 4000 by 4000 have the same area and perimeter?
no the area is 16,000,000 the perimeter is 16,000
Is there a circle with the same perimeter as area?
no
Is there a shape with the same perimeter and area?
There is a square that has a length of 4. Area: 4 x 4: 16 Perimeter: 4+4+4+4= 16 Yes, there is a shape with the same perimeter and area.
