Any number greater than or equal to 4*sqrt(48) = 27.71 cm (approx).

Let the length, L, be any number greater than sqrt(48) = 6.93 cm (approx)

and let W = 48/L cm.

Then Area = L*W = L*48/L = 48 cm2

But since L can have an infinite number of values, so can the perimeter.

For example,

L = 48, W = 1, A = 48 and P = 98

L = 96, W = 0.5, A = 48 and P = 193

L = 480, W = 0.1, A = 48 and P = 960.2

L = 960, W = 0.05, A = 1 and P = 1920.1

L = 4800, W = .01, A = 48 and P = 9600.02

there is no limit to the size of P.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
