How can the perimeter stay the same and the area change?
4x4 square: perimeter - 16 area - 16 6x2 rectangle perimeter - 16 area - 12
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! :)
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.
When you cut off a piece from a 2D shape you reduce the area and perimeter?
The area will decrease but the perimeter can increase, stay the same or decrease depending upon how the piece was cut off.
Can the perimeter and area be the same?
Consider a 4 x 4 square. The perimeter is 16 units. The area is 16 square units. The whole number is the same, but the units are not.
