Question 756062: How can 2 rectangles have the same area but different perimeters?.
Answer by rothauserc(4718)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! for example,
our first rectangle has length 10 and width 2, our second rectangle has length 5 and width 4
certainly the areas are equal, that is, 10*2 = 5*4, BUT
the perimeters are not equal, namely
2*10 + 2*2 = 24 and
5*2 + 4*2 = 18
