A 4 ft by 9 ft rectangle
The simplest shape is a 6ft*3 ft rectangle.
The area of the rectangle is the product of the length of the sides (provided the units of length are the same). Imagine a rectangle 6ft long and 10ft wide. You could even draw it if it helps. 6 multiplied by 10 is 60, so the area of a 6ft*10ft rectangle is 60ft2 or 60 sq. ft.
5ft+5ft+6ft+6ft+8ft=30ft

The diagonal is 7.21 feet.
If it is a rectangle then the perimeter is 78ft
If the rectangle is 12 feet long and has a perimeter of 40, then the height must be 8. If it is made 6 feet longer, it will have a length of 18 and a height of 8. The new area will be 144.

The rectangle with the smallest perimeter for a given area is the square. The rectangle with the greatestperimeter for a given area can't be specified. The longer and skinnier you make the rectangle, the greater its perimeter will become. No matter how great a perimeter you use to enclose 24 ft2, I can always specify a longer perimeter. Let me point you in that direction with a few examples: 6 ft x 4 ft = 24 ft2, perimeter = 20 ft 8 ft x 3 ft = 24 ft2, perimeter = 22 ft 12 ft x 2 ft = 24 ft2, perimeter = 28 ft 24 ft x 1 ft = 24 ft2, perimeter = 50 ft 48 ft x 6 inches = 24 ft2, perimeter = 97 ft 96 ft x 3 inches = 24 ft2, perimeter = 192.5 ft 288 ft x 1 inch = 24 ft2, perimeter = 576ft 2inches No matter how great a perimeter you find to enclose 24 ft2, I can always specify a rectangle with the same area and a longer perimeter.
Perimeter of [ 16 x 26 ] rectangle = 16 + 16 + 26 + 26 = 84-ft . Perimeter of a 20-ft square = 4 x 20 = 80-ft . The rectangle has the greater perimeter.
