No, they are not equal.

Say a rectangle is 3 x 2 = 6 sq in area

Say another is 6 x 1 = 6 sq in area

perimeter of first one is 2L + 2B = 10

perimeter of second one is 2L + 2B = 14

What is the perimeter of 170 acres?

That depends on the exact shape. For the same area, you can have different perimeters, depending on the shape.


How many feet are the perimeter of a quarter acre?

The area doesn't tell you the perimeter. There are an infinite number of different shapes and different dimensions that all have the same area but different perimeters. Here are a few 1/4-acre rectangles, and their perimeters: 90-ft x 121-ft . . 422-ft 30' x 363' . . . . . 786' 15' x 726' . . . . 1,482' 10' x 1,089' . . . 2,198' 6' x 1,815' . . . . 3,642' 2' x 5,445'. . . . 10,894'


Can a rectangles perimeter be the same as the area?

Yes, it can because a 3 by 6 rectangle has the perimeter of 18 and has the area of 18! :)


Can a triangle have the same perimeter and area as a parallelogram?

I don't know about the relation in the perimeters of a triangle and a parallelogram but if a triangle is on the same base on which the parallelogram is and the triangle is between the same parallel lines of the parallelogram, then the area of the triangle will be half the area of the parallelogram. That is, area of a triangle = 1/2 area of a parallelogram if the triangle is on the same base and between the same parallel lines.


Can rectangles with the same perimeter have different areas?

Yes. Say there are two rectangles, both with perimeter of 20. One of the rectangles is a 2 by 8 rectangle. The area of this rectangle is 2 x 8 which is 16. The other rectangle is a 4 by 6 rectangle. It has an area of 4 x 6 which is 24.
