The perimeter of a rectangle cannot be determined with the area alone as the lengths could vary. For example, the perimeter of the rectangle could be 12 (1 and 5) or 9 (2 and 2.5). For both cases, the area is still 5cm2, but the length can still change to result in different results.
Not always because a 2 by 12 rectangle will have the same area as a 4 by 6 rectangle but they both will have different perimeters.
It is not in all but a trivial sense - that they are both to do with finding the perimeter!
Make sure you know the length and width of the rectangle in the SAME UNITS ... both in inches, or both in meters etc. Then just multiply the two numbers ... Length x Width. The answer is the area of the rectangle.
You need two measurements for a rectangle: length x width. If both are equal, you should say so (in this case, it is a square).
Of course, a rectangle can have a greater perimeter and a greater area. Simply double all the sides: the perimeter is doubled and the area is quadrupled - both bigger than they were.
yes it can; a rectangle 5 by 2 has perimeter 14 and area 10 for example; a rectangle 10 by 2 has perimeter 24 and area 20, both greater.
yes, for example: a 4 by 5 rectangle has an area of 20 and a perimeter of 18 a 2 by 7 rectangle has an area of 14 and a perimeter of 18 they both have a perimeter of 18
not necessarily. take the example of a 3x3 square and a 4x2 rectangle. Both have a perimeter of 12. but the square has an area of 9 and the rectangle has an area of 8.
For example, a 1x15 rectangle and a 2x14 rectangle. They both have perimeter of 32, but they have areas of 15 and 28, respectively.
No.For example, a 1 metre * 72 metre rectangle and a 8 metre * 9 metre rectangle both have areas of 72 square metres. But the perimeter of the first is 146 metres while that of the second is 34 metres.

Yes. Say there are two rectangles, both with perimeter of 20. One of the rectangles is a 2 by 8 rectangle. The area of this rectangle is 2 x 8 which is 16. The other rectangle is a 4 by 6 rectangle. It has an area of 4 x 6 which is 24.
If the length and width of a rectangle are both multiplied by K, then the originalperimeter is multiplied by K, and the area is multiplied by K2 .
A rectangle has two dimensions - length and width. Only if both dimensions are doubled, then the perimeter will be doubled.
YOu add a # to the width and then you subtract the same # from the length! If you want to go all the way and make the area as big as possible, then you want to make the length and width both 1/4 of the perimeter.
