No rectangle can have equal perimeter and length.
A perimeter is a path that surrounds an area. The word comes from the Greek peri (around) and meter(measure). The term may be used either for the path or its length - it can be thought of as the length of the outline of a shape. The perimeter of a circular area is called circumference.
Because From the Latin/Greek root Peri, comes from the word around/surround. Meter was thrown at the end of it so it would literally mean surrounding meter or length. Thus we have Perimeter =]
Prolly greek. I think peri means around such as in perihelion. And meter means length or to measure.

pi is the ratio of the perimeter of a circle to its diameter. The Greek letter, pi, is the first letter of the word perimetros (Greek for perimeter).
The Greek word for perimeter begins with the letter pi, and since circumference and perimeter are the same the letter Pi was used.
English is 'around' and in Greek it is peri, as in the word 'perimeter'.
William Jones introduced the Greek character for pi in 1707. It was the initial letter in Greek for the word perimeter. Previously mathematicians wrote perimeter/diameter to express pi.
peri= around, meter= measure.
Because it is the ratio of the perimeter of a circle to its radius. pi is the Greek letter which is the first letter for perimeter.
Hexagon: 6 sided shape (the prefix "hexa-" comes from Greek, meaning "six".) Perimeter = length of the edge (i.e. add up all the lengths of the sides) So, what do we know? 1) Perimeter = add up the lengths of the sides 2) Hexagon = 6 sides 3) Each side is 27 cm Perimeter = ? You work it out :)
The Greek letter π was adopted for the number from the Greek word for perimeter "περίμετρος", first by William James, in 1707, and popularized by LeonhardEuler in 1737.
