The square room is 12 yards long and the rectangle room is a yard long but the rooms perimeter is the same Jack said the square room you need more room but Chris said that's wrong Who is right?

Chris is, it didn't say the width of either room only the total length of each room is the same, there is still the unmeasured width of the rectangular room.
The square room is 12 yards long so we know that the perimeter is 48 yard. That is 12 yards times 4 sides equals 48 yards total.
The rectangular room has one side only one yard long, so to have the same perimeter as the square room the rooms other two unmeasured sides would need to be 23 yards long. That is two walls are 1 yard each and two walls are 23 yard each, so 1 plus 1 plus 23 plus 23 equals 48 yards total.
The sentence is misleading in that it said "the rectangle room is a yard long", giving rise to the thought that the Longest side of the rectangle was one yard.

How do you find out the perimeter?
The perimeter of any 2D shape is the sum of all of the individual sides. For example: the perimeter of a rectangle is = length of rectangle (top) + length of rectangle (bottom) + height of rectangle (Left) + height of rectangle (Right)
What has four right angles but is not a square?
A rectangle has four right angles but is not a square.
What is a quadrilateral with four right angles-?
A rectangle is a quadrilateral with four right angles True (Apex)
Why a square can be a rectangle but a rectangle can never be a square?
A square can be a rectangle because a rectangle just has to have four sides and they all have to have right angles, which a square does. But a rectangle can never be a square because a square HAS to have ALL EVEN sides with all right angles. A rectangle possibly could not have all even sides.
Square abcd has five isosceles right triangles a dark square and a striped parallelogram line bc is 12 radical 2 the seven pieces were rearranged to form rectangle qrst what is the perimeter of qrst?
you need to see a picture of how the rectangle was rearranged
Why a square is a rectangle?
because a square has four right angles like a rectangle
What is a quadilateral with four right angles?
Either a 'SQUARE' or a 'RECTANGLE'.
What is a parallelogram with right angles?
A rectangle.
What is a quadrilateral with diagonals intersect at right angles?
square and rectangle * * * * * No. Square and Kite but NOT rectangle.
What shape has 4 right angled corners?
either a square or a rectangle
What is the perimeter of 22 acres?
It depends on the shape. 22 acres =106480 sq yards. If it is a perfect square, with all sides equal and all angles right angled, the length of the sides will be equal to the square root of 106480 = 326.31 yards, so the perimeter will be four times this = 1305.25 yards. If it is a long rectangle, the perimeter will be bigger. A circle gives the smallest perimeter possible.
Can a square and a rectangle have the same area and perimeter?
yes. A rectangle is any 4 sided 2 shape, while a square is a 4 sided shape with equal sides. A square is a rectangle, but a rectangle is not a square. * * * * * The above answer does not address the question that was asked. Technically, squares are a proper subset of rectangles. In that respect, any square is a rectangle as well and so the answer to the question is yes. However, if considering squares and non-square rectangles, the answer is no. The previous answer is not correct, however. A rectangle is NOT any 4 sided 2 shape. A rectangle must have four right angles and two pairs of equal opposite sides.
