a, b, c: the length of sidesQuestions about perimeter

Notes about the perimeter:
- Although polygons have the same perimeters, their lengths are different from each others.- For example:
Both rectangulars have the perimeter of 32m.
It means that: (a +b) x 2 = 32
==> a +b = 16
==> a= 1 = 2 = 3 = 4 = ...
And: b = 15 = 14 = 13 = ...
