Why it is possible for rectangles to have the same perimeters but different areas?
This is possible because you add perimiters but multiply areas. Consider a 2 x 4 rectangle and a 1 x 5 rectangle. The first has a perimeter of 12 (2+2+4+4), and an area of 8 (2 x 4). The second rectangle has a perimeter of 12 also (1+1+5+5), but an area of 5 (5 x 1). The closer a rectangle is to a perfect square, the larger the area will be, because a square maximizes area. A 3 x 3 square also has a perimeter of 12, but an area of 9. Heres another way to think about it: a rectangle that is one inch tall and 100 inches wide would have a perimeter of 202 inches, and an area of 100 square inches. If you added one inch to the side so that it was 101 inches wide, you would add 2 inches to the perimeter, but only one square inch to the area. However, if you made it one inch taller, you would still add 2 inches to the perimeter, but you would DOUBLE the area to 200 square inches.

When you fold a square paper vertically the new rectangle has a perimeter of 39 inches what is the original area of the square?
169 square inches. Folding the square in half leaves 2 edges of the original side length and two of half the side length. Therefore: perimeter = side + 1/2 side + side + 1/2 side = 3 sides ⇒ 3 sides = 39 inches ⇒ 1 side = 39 inches ÷ 3 = 13 inches ⇒ area_original_square = 13 inches x 13 inches = 169 square inches.

Is it possible for two shapes to have the same area but different perimeters?
Yes it is possible. Consider these two shapes with the same area: a 2-inch square and a 1-inch x 4-inch rectangle both have the same area of 4 sq inches.
