This browser is hopeless for drawing but consider the following two rectangles: a*b and (a+1)*(b-1). Their perimeter will be 2a+2b but unless a = b-1, their area will be different.

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 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.


How many different rectangles are there if the perimeter of the rectangle equals the area of the rectangle?

Infinite amounts.


Do all rectangles with the same perimeter have the same area?

No. Here are four rectangles with the same perimeter:1 by 6 . . . . . perimeter = 14, area = 62 by 5 . . . . . perimeter = 14, area = 103 by 4 . . . . . perimeter = 14, area = 1231/2 by 31/2 . . perimeter = 14, area = 121/4With all the same perimeter . . . -- The nearer it is to being square, the more area it has.-- The longer and skinnier it is, the less area it has. If somebody gives you some wire fence and tells you to put it uparound the most possible area, your first choice is to put it up ina circle, and your second choice is to put it up in a square. Rectanglesare out, if you can avoid them.


What would the perimeter of a rectangular 13 acre field?

The area doesn't tell you the dimensions or the perimeter. There's an infinitenumber of rectangles that all have the same area but different perimeters.The smallest perimeter that encloses 13 acres is a circle with diameter of 849.12 feet,and perimeter (circumference) of 2,667.6 feet.The smallest possible perimeter of a rectangle that encloses 13 acres is squarewith sides of 752.5 feet, and perimeter of 3,010.1 feet .You can draw 13-acre rectangles with any perimeter you want that's larger than that.Here are a few. These all enclose 13 acres.60' x 9,438' . . . perimeter = 18,996'120' x 4,719' . . . . . 9,678'143' x 3,960' . . . . . 8,206180' x 3,146' . . . . . 6,652'360' x 1,573' . . . . . 3,866'429' x 1,320' . . . . . 3,498'660' x 858' . . . . . . 3,036'

What is the relationship for perimeter and area for rectangle?

There is no relationship between the perimeter and area of a rectangle. Knowing the perimeter, it's not possible to find the area. If you pick a number for the perimeter, there are an infinite number of rectangles with different areas that all have that perimeter. Knowing the area, it's not possible to find the perimeter.

If two rectangles have the same perimetre they must have the same area?

No, two rectangles with the same perimeter do not necessarily have the same area. The area of a rectangle is calculated as length multiplied by width, while the perimeter is the sum of all sides. For example, a rectangle with dimensions 2x5 (perimeter 14) has an area of 10, while a rectangle with dimensions 3x4 (also perimeter 14) has an area of 12. Thus, rectangles can have the same perimeter but different areas.


How do you calculate the perimeter and area of a shape?

Perimeter: add all sides area: multiply length times width for rectangles


Find 4 rectangles with same area with different perimeter?

10cm by 10cm (perimeter=40cm), 5cm by 20cm (perimeter=50cm), 50cm by 2cm (perimeter=104cm), 100cm by 1cm (perimeter=202cm). All of these rectangles' areas are 100cm2


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.


Do two different rectangles with the same perimeter necessarily have the same area?

no
