Have a look at these five rectangles:

Length . . . Width

1 . . . . . . . . 3,000

10 . . . . . . . 300

15 . . . . . . . 200

30 . . . . . . . 100

50 . . . . . . . 60

All five of them have the same area ... 3,000 ... but their perimeters are

6002, 620, 430, 260, and 220.

Knowing the area doesn't tell the perimeter. For any area you name, there are

an infinite number of differemnt rectangles, with different dimensions, that all

have that same area.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
