How many rectangles can you make out of 6 sq units?
You can make about 5
Is there a relationship between the area and the perimeter of a rectangle?
No. Different rectangles, all with the same area, may have a different perimeter. Example:* A rectangle of 4 x 1 has an area of 4 square units, and a perimeter of 2(4+1) = 10. * A rectangle of 2 x 2 has an area of 4 square units, and a perimeter of 2(2+2) = 8. * A rectangle of 8 x 1/2 has an area of 4 square units, and a perimeter of 2(8 + 1/2) = 17. In fact, for any given area, you can make the perimeter arbitrarily large. On the other hand, you get the lowest perimeter if your rectangle is a square.
Make a rectangle tha covers 8 square units and has a perimeter of 12 units around the outside?
make a rectangle that covers 8 square units inside and has a perimeter of 12 units around the outside
Is it possible to make a shape out of the area of 16 and a perimeter of 15?
Yes but not a square (or rectangle). A quadrilateral with an area of 16 sq units must have sides of at least 4 units and so a perimeter of at least 16 units. However, a circle of perimeter 15 units will enclose an area of 17.905 sq units (to 3 dp) so an ellipse of 15 units' perimeter will meet the requirements.
Can you draw a rectangle that has an area of 5 square units and a perimeter of 12 units?
Yes, you can. If you make it 1 unit by 5 units
