Yes. A rectangle 12.568 x 1.432 has a perimeter of 28 and an area of 17.997, all correct to the third decimal place.

Calculation: length + width = 14, length x width = 18

width = 14 - length, so length x (14 - length) = 18

so (14 x length) - (length x length) = 18

which is: length squared - 14 x length + 18 = 0

Using the quadratic formula (- b +/- sqrt (b squared - 4 times a times c) where a = 1, b = 14 and c = 18 all divided by twice a) gives the solutions 25.136/2 and 2.864/2
