Can the perimeter of a rectanlge be larger than the area?

Yes, the perimeter of a rectangle can be larger than its area. For example, consider a rectangle with dimensions 1 unit by 1 unit, which has a perimeter of 4 units and an area of 1 square unit. As the rectangle's dimensions change, especially when one dimension is much larger than the other, the perimeter can exceed the area even more significantly.


The perimeter of a rectangle is 18 cm and its dimensions are quadrupled What is the perimeter of the larger rectangle?

Length + Width = 9, becomes 36, eg 8 + 1 becomes 32 + 4 or 5 + 4 becomes 20 + 16 New perimeter is 2 x 36 = 72 cm


Does The perimeter of a polygon depends upon the number of sides of the polygon?

No, it does not. You can have a large triangle and a tiny quadrilateral. The first has fewer sides but its perimeter can be much much larger.


Is it sometimes always or never true that the perimeter of a rectangle is numerically greater than its area?

Sometimes. Experiment with a small square and with a large square (though any shape rectangle will do). A square of 4 x 4 has a perimeter of 16, and an area of 16. A smaller square has more perimeter than area. A larger square has more area than perimeter.


How is area perimeter and volume related?

In general the larger the perimeter (of a flat shape) the greater the area. Given two congruent shapes the one with the larger perimeter has a greater area.But two shapes that are not congruent (or almost so) do not follow this rule: for example a rectangle fifteen units long and one unit wide has an area of 15 square units and a perimeter of 32 units. While a square with edges four units has an area of sixteen square units (one more than the other rectangle) but a perimeter of only sixteen units (half that of the long thin rectangle).So too with surface area and volume. Of two congruent 3 dimensional shapes, the one with the larger volume will also have a larger surface area.

Is The area of a rectangle always greater than the perimeter?

To answer this simply try a few out for yourself. In a 2x1 cm rectangle, the area is 2 cm squared and the perimeter is 6 cm In a 12x10 rectangle, the area is 120 cm squared and the perimeter is 44 cm. In some cases, the perimeter is larger and in others it is smaller. To answer your question, no, the perimeter of a rectangle is NOT always greater than its area.


Which has the larger perimeter a 16-foot by 26-foot rectangle or a 20 foot square?

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.


Is the perimiter of 11 by 12 rectangle smaller or larger than the perimiter of a sqare with the same area?

11 x 12 rectangle has a larger perimeter = 46 units The 132 square unit area will give a square a perimeter of 45.9565 units

Rectangle whose perimeter is larger than area?

Perimeter is a unit of length. Area is a unit of area. The two units are not directly convertible.However, the area of a rectangle is length times width, and the perimeter is two times length plus two times width. Given constant perimeter, a square has maximum area, while a very thin rectangle has nearly zero area. (In calculus terms, the limit of the area as length or width goes to zero is zero.)Depending on how you want to name your units, you can always find a rectangle whose perimeter is "larger" than area, but this is a numerical trick that is not valid in any school of thought of mathematics that I know.


What is the perimeter of a rectangle if the area is 360 square centimeters?

Anything from almost 75,9 (if the rectangle were a square with each side 18,97 cm) to much larger, 722 if the rectangle is 1 cm by 360 cm or if the rectangle were 0,5 by 720 cm - still an area of 360 cm2! - the perimeter would be 1441cmGreater than 4 * sqrt 360
