This is a counter-intuitive question that even my calculus thought it's impossible. The question is if it's possible for us to have a rectangle with a perimeter of 1000 cm but an area of 1 cm^2. The answer is this is actually possible. We will have to set up a system of equations, use the substitution method, and solve a quadratic equation by using the quadratic formula. This is a great question for algebra students and anyone who loves math!
