Final answer:

Different shapes with different dimensions can have the same area.

For e.g.:

Square (side = 4cm).

  • Area of the square will be = 4x4 = 16cm^2.

Rectangle: L= 8 cm and W = 2 cm.

  • Area of the rectangle will be = 8 * 2 = 16cm^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

A concrete way to demonstrate that many different shapes can have the same area is by using examples of shapes with different dimensions but the same area.

For example, consider a square with side length 4 units.

The area of this square is 16 square units.

Now, consider a rectangle with dimensions 8 units by 2 units.

The area of this rectangle is also 16 square units.

Although the shapes are different, they have the same area.
