algebra....help!!!!

The formula for working out the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2( b + h ) where b is the base length and h is the height. The formula for the perimeter of a square is P = 4s where s is the length of each side of the square.

Chloe says the rectangle will have a longer perimeter than the square. Find two examples to show that she is sometimes correct and sometimes wrong.

So... what have you tried? How far have you gotten? Where are you stuck?

Please be complete. Thank you!

Notice that the formula for the square is really the same as that for the rectangle with the b = h = s, that is, for a square P = 2 (b + h) = 2 (s + s) = 2 (2s) = 4s . Maybe that will help with an example or two.
