2. Perimeter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perimeter

   For example, the perimeter of a rectangle of width 0.001 and length 1000 is slightly above 2000, while the perimeter of a rectangle of width 0.5 and length 2 is 5. Both areas are equal to 1. Proclus (5th century) reported that Greek peasants "fairly" parted fields relying on their perimeters. [ 2 ]

3. Square - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square

   A square is a special case of a rhombus (equal sides, opposite equal angles), a kite (two pairs of adjacent equal sides), a trapezoid (one pair of opposite sides parallel), a parallelogram (all opposite sides parallel), a quadrilateral or tetragon (four-sided polygon), and a rectangle (opposite sides equal, right-angles), and therefore has all ...

4. Mathematics of paper folding - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics_of_paper_folding

   The napkin folding problem is the problem of whether a square or rectangle of paper can be folded so the perimeter of the flat figure is greater than that of the original square. The placement of a point on a curved fold in the pattern may require the solution of elliptic integrals.

5. AM–GM inequality - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AM–GM_inequality

   In two dimensions, 2x 1 + 2x 2 is the perimeter of a rectangle with sides of length x 1 and x 2. Similarly, 4 √ x 1 x 2 is the perimeter of a square with the same area, x 1 x 2, as that rectangle. Thus for n = 2 the AM–GM inequality states that a rectangle of a given area has the smallest perimeter if that rectangle is also a square.

6. Area - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area

   That is, the area of the rectangle is the length multiplied by the width. As a special case, as l = w in the case of a square, the area of a square with side length s is given by the formula: [1] [2] A = s 2 (square). The formula for the area of a rectangle follows directly from the basic properties of area, and is sometimes taken as a ...

7. Rectangle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectangle

   In Euclidean plane geometry, a rectangle is a rectilinear convex polygon or a quadrilateral with four right angles. It can also be defined as: an equiangular quadrilateral, since equiangular means that all of its angles are equal (360°/4 = 90°); or a parallelogram containing a right angle. A rectangle with four sides of equal length is a square.
