You can't tell the dimensions from the perimeter. There are an infinite number of different rectangles, all with different lengths and widths, that all have the same perimeter.
Draw nine rectangles, with the following dimensions:1 by 172 by 163 by 154 by 145 by 136 by 127 by 118 by 109 by 9If you want to get the jump on the next topic coming up in math, thenwhile you're drawing these rectangles, notice that even though theyall have the same perimeter, they all have different areas.
Perimeter = 2 x (width + length)⇒ 12 = 2 x (width + length)⇒ width + length = 6⇒ the rectangles could be:1 by 52 by 43 by 3[A square is a rectangle with equal sides.]
There are an infinite number of rectangles with this perimeter. The "whole number" sides could be (5 x 1), (4 x 2) or (3 x 3), but (5½ x ½) or (3¼ x 2¾) etc would fit the description.
