Yes, let's take two different rectangles:

  • The first one is 4 inches by 5 inches.
  • The second is 2 inches by 10 inches.

Both of these have an area of 20 square inches, and they are not congruent. You could also have one: 1 inch by 20 inches, 1/2 inch by 40 inches, etc.

Are rectangles congruent?

yes rectangles are congruent.


If two rectangles have the same area do they also have to have the same perimeter?

Not necessarily. Let's say that there is a circle with the area of 10. Now there is a star with the area of 10. They do not have the same perimeter, do they? That still applies with rectangles. There might be a very long skinny rectangle and a square next to each other with the same area, but that does not mean that they have the same perimeter. Now if the rectangles are congruent then yes.


Would Two rectangles that have a same perimeter are congruent?

No


Why are two rectangles with the same perimeter congruent?

Can all rectangles be divided into to congruent rectangles?

Yes, into infinitely many sets of congruent rectangles. In fact, all plane shapes - including totally random ones - can be divided into sets of congruent shapes.


Is it possible for two rectangles to have the same perimeter and area?

Only if they are congruent. One of them could be the a rotation of the other - eg 4m x 6m and 6m x 4m.
