Surface area is the perimeter (amount of space around a shape) around a shape. For example: I have a rectangle So: 3+3=6 9+9=18 18+18=36cm2
Area is 36cm2
216 cubic cm
The smallest perimeter is that for a square with sides of 6 cm. That is to say, a perimeter of 4*6 = 24 cm. There is no maximum. Suppose the shorter side is x cm. Then, for the area to be 36 cm2, the longer side must be 36/x cm Then the perimeter is 2x + 72/x cm. x can decrease towards 0 and as it does 72/x will increase without limit, making the perimeter "infinite". Try it: If smaller side 1 cm, then longer side = 36 cm and perimeter = 74 cm 0.1 cm 360 cm 720.2 cm 0.01 cm 3600 cm 7200.02 cm etc
The area of a rectangle is always length multiplied by width. Therefore, the area of the mentioned rectangle is 36cm2.
