Answer by Maths68(1474) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Area of Rectangle = Width * Lenght = 5*5 = 25 square inches
Perimeter of Rectangel = 2 Lenght + 2 Width = 2*5+2*5=10+10=20

Area of Square = Side * Side = 5*5 = 25 square inches
Perimeter of Square = 4side = 4*5 = 20 square inches

In both cases area of the square and rectangle and perimeter of square and rectangle are same.
A square is a rectangle whoes lenght and width are equal or every square is a rectangle but every rectangle is not a square.
