Oh, what a happy little question! Let's think about shapes that could have a perimeter of 15 and an area of 16. One shape that comes to mind is a rectangle with dimensions 4 by 4. Another possibility is a square with sides of length 4. These shapes show us that there can be different ways to create beautiful combinations of perimeter and area.

JudyTo find shapes with a perimeter of 15 and an area of 16, we can use the formulas for perimeter and area of different shapes. One possible solution is a rectangle with dimensions 4x4, as the perimeter would be 2(4+4)=16 and the area would be 4x4=16. Another solution is a square with side length 4, as the perimeter would be 4x4=16 and the area would be 4^2=16. These are the two shapes that meet the criteria of a perimeter of 15 and an area of 16.
Well, honey, you're looking for a rectangle with sides of 4 and 4.5 units. Don't go thinking outside the box on this one - stick to the good ol' rectangles for this one.

How can the perimeter stay the same and the area change?
4x4 square: perimeter - 16 area - 16 6x2 rectangle perimeter - 16 area - 12
Two rectangles have a perimeter of 16 inches Name two possible areas for each rectangle?
* It is unclear if the question is asking about two rectangles, each with a perimeter of 16, or two rectangles whose perimeters sum to 16. This answer assumes the former.Other than the 4x4 square, which coincidentally has both a perimeter and area of 16, some examples would be:1 x 7 rectangle : perimeter 16 in. , area 7 sq. in2 x 6 rectangle : perimeter 16 in., area 12 sq. in3 x 5 rectangle: perimeter 16 in., area 15 sq. inYou can calculate that for a given perimeter, the largest area is found in the square with a side measurement of P/4, i.e. the length and the width are the same.
A square room has area of 16 meters square . What is the perimeter of the room?
The perimeter is 16 feet.
Find the area and perimeter of the square with side of 4cm?
Area = (side)2 = 16 square centimeters Perimeter = 4 x side = 16 centimeters
What is the perimeter and the area of a rectangle that is 12 feet x 16 feet?
A rectangle has 2 pairs of equal sides. perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides: Perimeter = 12 + 12 + 16 + 16 = 56 Ft Area = 12 x 16 = 192 Ft2
How many shapes have a perimeter of 16 and an area of 15?
There is a potentially large number of shapes with a perimeter of 16 and an area of 15. You would just have to do some experimenting and find out. However, the easiest one that came to my mind when I saw this question was a rectangle, with shorts sides of 3 and long sides of 5. Add the four sides together (3+5+3+5), and you get the perimeter of 16. Multiply the two numbers together (3x5), and you get the area of 15. A standard index card, for instance, measures 3 inches by 5 inches, so that would have a perimeter of 16 inches and an area of 15 square inches.
Do all shapes with fixed perimeter have same area?
nope because if u have a square with a side length of 4 then the perimeter is 16 and the area is 16 and say if u have a rectangle with side lengths of 2 and 6 then the perimeter is 16 but the area is 12 so the answer is no
Why do the areas of different shapes differ even if their perimeter is same?
A rectangle that's 7 x 1 inches has a perimeter of 16inches,and its area is 7 square inches.A rectangle that's 5 x 3 inches also has a perimeter of 16 inches,but its area is 15 square inches.A rectangle that's 6 x 2 inches also has a perimeter of 16 inches,but its area is 12 square inches.A square that's 4 inches on each side also has a perimeter of 16 inches,but its area is 16 square inches.A circle that's 16 inches around the outside also has a perimeter of 16 inches,and its area is 20.4 square inches.There's no reason why there has to be a connection between perimeter and area.
What shape has a perimeter of 16 and area of 15?
A 5 by 3 rectangle
Is it possible to make a shape out of the area of 16 and a perimeter of 15?
Yes but not a square (or rectangle). A quadrilateral with an area of 16 sq units must have sides of at least 4 units and so a perimeter of at least 16 units. However, a circle of perimeter 15 units will enclose an area of 17.905 sq units (to 3 dp) so an ellipse of 15 units' perimeter will meet the requirements.
How can the perimeter stay the same and the area change?
4x4 square: perimeter - 16 area - 16 6x2 rectangle perimeter - 16 area - 12
What is the area of a square with a perimeter of 16?
The area of a square with a perimeter of 16 is: 16 square units.
What is the area of greater than 16 with a perimeter of 16?
A circle with a circumference (perimeter) of 16 units has an area of approx 20.4 units.
Why can shapes with the same area have different perimeters?
Shapes with the same area can be different sizes. If you restrict yourself to integers, a rectangle with an area of 12 square inches can have the following dimensions: 1 x 12 (perimeter 26) 2 x 6 (perimeter 16) 3 x 4 (perimeter 14) The long skinny piece has most of its area near the edges. The one that's most like a square has most of its area in the center.
Can two shapes have the same area and different perimeters?
Yes Example: Rectangle A has an area of 64 cm. and a perimeter of 32 8 cm. by 8 cm. Rectangle B has an area of 64 cm. and a perimeter of 40 4 cm. by 16 cm
If A square has an area of 16M2 what is the perimeter?
The perimeter is 16 meters.
Are square 16 inhes- what is perimeter?
If the area of a square is 16 square inches, the perimeter is 16 inches.
