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)

Yes, they are called squares. Squares are a subset of rectangles.
One thing that area and perimeter has in common is that they both measures some part of a shape
