The formula for the area of a square is simply L2 (sometimes referred to as s2 ) where L (s) is the length of one side. The formula for the area of a rectangle is LW, where L is the length and W is the width. The formula for the area of a rectangle can be used to find the area of a square, but the formula for the area of a square cannot be used to find the area of a rectangle. This is because by definition, all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.
The Golden Rectangle was believed to be founded by Pythagoras. The Golden Rectangle was used for many Greek Buildings such as the Parthenon, and the Villa Stein.
In italy, the Pantheon, however has the golden ratio. Its pillars below the roof is a rectangle, the golden rectangle, on the roof (top part) is a triangle, the golden triangle.
In the formula for the rectangle, put the width equal to the length.
Heron's formula
Square is a special case of a rectangle and the same formula may be used to find the perimeter
The rectangle can be thought of as two adjacent 12 x 12 squares. Each square has an area of 144 sq. ft., making the entire rectangle 288 sq. ft. thereby creating a needless extra step, since the area of the rectangle is 12 x 24 = 288 sq. ft.
The squares can have sides equal to each factor that is common to both numbers.
Draw a rectangle with length twice its width, you would have used 4 lines already. Then draw a straight line at the center. The result will be two identical squares.
The formula for finding the surface area of a rectangle is length x width. 3.14 is the value for pi and is used for circles, cylinders, and spheres and has nothing to do with rectangles.
For a room that is a rectangle, multiply length times width.
There is evidence to suggest that ancient Greek architects and artists used the concept of the golden rectangle in their designs. Examples can be found in the Parthenon and other structures where the proportions of elements follow the golden ratio. However, it is important to note that not all ancient Greek buildings necessarily incorporated the golden rectangle.
