The perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2 b + 2 h , where is the base (or width) and is the height (or length). If a rectangle is a square, with sides of length , the formula for perimeter is P s q u a r e = 2 s + 2 s = 4 s and the formula for area is A s q u a r e = s ⋅ s = s 2
They are not the same but very close, the reasoning for this is that theoretical things are not 100% accurate therefore meaning that the answers with a real experiment may vary.
