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)
