One thing that area and perimeter has in common is that they both measures some part of a shape
Some of the jobs that use area and perimeter include surveying, drafting and construction.
Area: Find some of the lengths, then cut the L in half and work it out from there. Perimeter: Add all the lengths together.
Some do: a square 2 units on a side, for example, has area 4 units, perimeter 8.
A rectangle cannot really have the same area and perimeter because an area is a 2-dimensional concept while a perimeter is 1-dimensional.However, you can have rectangles such that the numericalvalue of their area and perimeter are the same.Take any number x > 2 and let y = 2x/(x-2)Then a rectangle with sides of x and y has an area and perimeter whose value is 2x2/(x-2)
