Answer:
The smallest perimeter for a rectangle given is a square. A rectangle of area 16in^2 can have sides 4in x 4in. And the perimeter of a rectangle (assuming that squares count as rectangles) is 4x4. So 4x4 = 16. Therefore the smallest possible perimeter for a rectangle of area 16in^2 is 16in.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since there is no rule that states a rectangle cannot have all sides of equal length, all squares are rectangles, but not rectangles are squares. Hence, the minimum perimeter is 16 in with equal sides of 4 in
