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 that covers 8 square units inside and has a perimeter of 12 units around the outside
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.
Yes, you can. If you make it 1 unit by 5 units

To be perfectly correct about it, a perimeter and an area can never be equal.A perimeter has linear units, while an area has square units.You probably mean that the perimeter and the area are the same number,regardless of the units.It's not possible to list all of the rectangles whose perimeter and area are thesame number, because there are an infinite number of such rectangles.-- Pick any number you want for the length of your rectangle.-- Then make the width equal to (double the length) divided by (the length minus 2).The number of linear units around the perimeter, and the number of square unitsin the area, are now the same number.

Well, honey, first you need to know the shape you're dealing with to calculate the perimeter. Once you've got that number, you can't just wave a magic wand and turn it into square meters. Perimeter is measured in linear units, while square meters measure area, so you'll need more information to make that conversion.
Draw a rectangle with 2 sides 5 units long and 2 sides 4 units long
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.

Yes, it is possible for the area to be smaller than the perimeter. In geometric terms, the area of a shape is the measure of the space inside the shape, while the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all the sides. For certain shapes, such as rectangles with very elongated proportions, it is possible for the perimeter to be larger than the area.
Yes, you can. If you make it 1 unit by 5 units
You can make three rectangles. Remember that a square can also be a rectangle.5x14x23x3
Yes. Make the length of each side 1/4 of the desired perimeter.
