Can the perimeter of a rectangle be greater than it's area?
No, because the perimeter is the outside edge and the area is the amount of space in the shape
What would be a greater perimeter but a smaller area to a question of 24 and a area of 27?
Perimeter = 24 and area = 27 . . . . . rectangle, 3 by 9 Perimeter = 32 and area = 15 . . . . . rectangle, 1 by 15
Can a rectangle have a smaller perimeter and also a greater area?
Yes. For instance, the rectangle measuring 1 by 10 has a perimeter of 22 and an area of 10, whereas the rectangle measuring 4 by 4 has a perimeter of 16 and an area of 16.
If the area is 350square feet what is the perimeter?
There is insufficient information to answer the question. For a given area, the perimeter depends upon the shape. For a given area, the circle will have the smallest perimeter. For polygons, regular polygons will have a smaller perimeter than an irregular one of the same area. Also, for regular polygons, the greater the number of sides, the smaller the perimeter.
Need a rectangle with a area greater than 30 and a perimeter of 22?
