Best Answer

For a given perimeter, the greatest possible area is enclosed by a circle.

A circle with a circumference of 18 has a diameter of (18/pi) and a radius of (9/pi).

Its area is (pi R2) = (pi 92/pi2) = 81/pi = 25.78 (rounded)

So an area of 42 cannot be enclosed by a perimeter of 18.

What is the area if the perimeter of the square is 168 inches?

Perimeter = 168 inches so 4*length of side = 168 inches Length of side = 168/4 = 42 inches So area = 42*42 = 1764 square inches.


What is the area of a 42 cm perimeter cube?

That depends how you define the perimeter for a cube. The term perimeter is usually used for plane figures, not for 3D solids.


What is the perimeter for a polygon that's area is 20sq. units?

Even if you knew how many sides the polygon has, you stillcould not calculate its perimeter with that much information.Examples:-- An equilateral triangle with area of 20 has perimeter of 20.3885 .-- A square with area of 20 has perimeter of 17.889(rounded).-- A rectangle with area of 20 can have any perimeter more than 17.889 .4 by 5 . . . . area = 20, perimeter = 182 by 10 . . . area = 20, perimeter = 241 by 20 . . . area = 20, perimeter = 42..etc.


What is the relationship between perimeter and area?

Perimeter is the distance AROUND any particular object where area is the amount of space inside the object (2dimentional). Let's say you have a yard 10 feet long, by 11 feet wide. The perimeter is the distance AROUND your yard or 10+10+11+11 = 42ft The AREA is the amount of space inside or L*W or 10*11 = 110ft^2 Suppose I change the dimensions of the yard without changing its perimeter (42 ft) and see what happens to the area. Suppose the length and width are 20ft and 1 ft respectively. The perimeter is still 20+1+20+1=42. The area however is 20X1 =20 ft2 Now if we take the yard to be a square one of 10.5 ft side then the perimeter still remains 42 ft. but the area becomes 110.25 ft2. Now suppose I assume that the perimeter of a circle is 42 ft. What will the area of such a circle be? Now we know that the circumference of a circle is 2x3.14(pi)Xr = 42 ft. Therefore r = 6.687 ft. r2= 44.715 ft2 therefore area of the circle is 4xpixr2= 561.63 ft 2. Thus we can deduce that given a known perimeter a circular shape has or occupies the largest area. What happens if the shape is irregular? Say a irregular polygon? Would my deduction that the cicrular shape has the largest area remain valid?
