Step-by-step solution

Given that in a rectangle all pairs of opposite sides are equal to each other, it can be argued that:

AB=CD=6 AB=CD=6

AC=BD=4 AC=BD=4

Now calculate the perimeter of the rectangle by adding all the sides:

4+4+6+6= 4+4+6+6=

8+12=20 8+12=20

In other words, the data of the rectangle's area is unnecessary, since we already have all the data to calculate the perimeter, and we do not need to calculate the other sides.
