D. It is possible for two squares to have the same perimeter without having the same area.

pls help

Answer 1

Well you know that all four sides of a square are the same length... so D is out, and C is out... since there are not two numbers that form a square that give a different area and perimeter.

So you are back to A and B...

consider a rectangle with length 12 and width 3... the area is 36
while its perimeter is 12+12+3 + 3
A rectangle with length 18 and width 2 also has an area of 36, but this perimeter is 40 units

so... is A) or B) correct ??
