Yes. Consider, if you will, the triangle with sides of 3, 5, and 7 centimeters. Or, perhaps, the trapezoid with sides of 3, 5, 3, and 8 inches. Or even a circle with a perimeter of 55 feet.
However, I believe you're asking if you can have a rectangle with an odd perimeter, without a 1/2 in two of its sides.
The area, you see, is (side)*(adjacent side), so in order for there to be a 1/2 in the area, there would have to be a 1/2 in one of the factors, and the other would have to be odd. And if we imagine a square with sides of 2.25 each, then that makes an odd perimeter of 9, with an area of 81/16 (or 5.0625), which I would consider odd.
And, of course, as you saw above, the square with sides of 2.25 each had no halves in each individual side, and had an odd perimeter. There are many ways to slice the fractions so that there is no 1/2 in any side.
It cannot, however, be done with a whole number, for in a rectangle, two sides absolutely must be equal, such that it is as if you multiply any side length by two. When you multiply a whole number by two, it will inevitably turn out even, regardless of the other factor's oddness or evenness.

How do you do perimeter and area of L?
Area: Find some of the lengths, then cut the L in half and work it out from there. Perimeter: Add all the lengths together.
How do you find perimeter and area of triangles?
Perimeter . . . add up the lengths of all three sides. Area . . . multiply (half the length of the base) by (the height).
How do you figure the area of a rectangle that has a perimeter of 36 cm?
If it was a square, the answer would be 81 square cm. The area will be the product of two numbers whose sum is half the perimeter.
Suppose you know the perimeter and the height of an equilateral triangle explain how you would find the area of the triangle.?
The base is one third of the perimeter, half of the base times the height is the area.
How does area of a circle relate to circumference?
The area of a circle is equal to the perimeter times half the radius. That is, A = P*r/2
How do you find the area if perimeter is given?
If the area is a square, 1/4 of the perimeter is the length of one side. That length squared is the area. The area will be the product of two numbers whose sum is half the perimeter.
How do you do perimeter and area of L?
Area: Find some of the lengths, then cut the L in half and work it out from there. Perimeter: Add all the lengths together.
If the height of a rectangle is eight and three fourths the perimeter is thirty eight and a half what is the area?
The perimeter of that rectangle is 89.6875.
How do you find perimeter and area of triangles?
Perimeter . . . add up the lengths of all three sides. Area . . . multiply (half the length of the base) by (the height).
How do you figure the area of a rectangle that has a perimeter of 36 cm?
If it was a square, the answer would be 81 square cm. The area will be the product of two numbers whose sum is half the perimeter.
What is the perimeter of a half acre?
Half an acre = 21780 sq feet.This could have a perimeter of any length greater than (or equal to) 523.16 feet.If the area is in the form of a circle of radius 83.26 feet, it will have the minimum perimeter of 523.16 feet.Or, you can have a square of 147.6 ft giving a perimeter of 590.3 ft,or a rectangle of 150 ft * 145.2 ft - perimeter = 590.4 ftor a rectangle of 100 ft * 217.8 ft - perimeter = 635.6 ftor a rectangle of 10 ft * 2178 ft - perimeter = 4376 ftor a rectangle of 1 ft * 21780 ft - perimeter of = 43562 ftetc, with the perimeter increasing without limit.Or, the area could be circular giving the minim590 feet.
Square x has an area of 100 square units square y has a perimeter that is half of the perimeter of square x what is the area of square x?
Trick question. 100. :)
Suppose you know the perimeter and the height of an equilateral triangle explain how you would find the area of the triangle.?
The base is one third of the perimeter, half of the base times the height is the area.
How do you find the dimensions of a rectangle given only the total perimeter?
Length + width = half the perimeter, but more info eg area, is needed.
What is the perimeter and area of a circle with diameter equal to 5 cm?
Perimeter = diameter x pi. Area = pi x radius2. (The radius is half the diameter.)
How does area of a circle relate to circumference?
The area of a circle is equal to the perimeter times half the radius. That is, A = P*r/2
How do you calculate half of a circle if the radius is 6 centimeters?
The answer depends on what characteristic of a half circle you want to calculate: its area or perimeter or something else.
