There are an infinite number of shapes with an area of 16 square centimetres. The one with the smallest perimeter is a circle of radius 2.2568 cm (to 4 dp). Such a circle will have a perimeter of 14.1796 cm.
This value for the perimeter can be increased by changing the circle into an ellipse: making the ellipse flatter and longer (increasing its eccentricity) so that the perimeter increases without changing the area. There is no upper bound to the perimeter.
This can also be done for quadrilaterals, with the smallest one being a 4cm x 4cm square. But you could have a rectangle with sides 0.4 cm and 40 cm and a perimeter of 80.8
or 0.04 cm and 400 cm and a perimeter of 800.08 cm
or 0.004 cm and 4000 cm and a perimeter of 8000.008 cm
and so on - without limit.
Or you could have triangles, or polygons with 5 or more sides.
The important point is that area does not determine the perimeter.
Oddly enough the perimeter is 16 centimeters.
A perimeter is a measure of length and so cannot be 16 square centimetres - which is a measure of area. As it happens, a square with a perimeter of 16 centimetres will have sides of 4 cm and so an area of 16 square centimetres.
If the area of a square is 16 square inches, the perimeter is 16 inches.
To create a shape with an area of 16 square centimeters and a perimeter of 20 centimeters, you can use a rectangle. For example, if you choose a length of 8 centimeters, the width would need to be 2 centimeters (since area = length × width = 8 cm × 2 cm = 16 cm²). The perimeter can be calculated as 2(length + width) = 2(8 cm + 2 cm) = 20 cm. Thus, a rectangle measuring 8 cm by 2 cm meets both criteria.
31 centimeters
Oddly enough the perimeter is 16 centimeters.
Area = (side)2 = 16 square centimeters Perimeter = 4 x side = 16 centimeters
A perimeter is a measure of length and so cannot be 16 square centimetres - which is a measure of area. As it happens, a square with a perimeter of 16 centimetres will have sides of 4 cm and so an area of 16 square centimetres.
around 33.94 centimeters
the answer is 16 cm and that is the perimeter.
Perimeter of square = 4*length of side = 4*4cm = 16 cm.
52 cm
If the rectangle is a square, the perimeter is 48 cm. If not, there are a lot of possibilities.
If the area of a square is 16 square inches, the perimeter is 16 inches.
The area of a square with a perimeter of 16 is: 16 square units.
