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.
What has the greater perimeter a square with side eight units or rectangle with length 14 units and width two units?
They will be both the same because the perimeter of the square is 32 units and the perimeter of the rectangle is also 32 units
What happens to the perimerter when you double the dimensions of a rectangle?
The perimeter also doubles.
How to get the deminsions of a rectangle?
The dimensions of a rectangle are the length and the width. With these two measurements , the area of the rectangle can be calculated : Area = length x width. The perimeter can also be found : Perimeter = (2 x length) + (2 x width).
Does the perimeter of a rectangle change when you double the dimensions?
Yes. The perimeter is a measure of the combined length of all the sides. If you double the lengths of the sides then naturally this will also necessarilychange the perimeter (it will double the perimeter).
