Is it sometimes always or never true that the perimeter of a rectangle is numerically greater than its area?
Sometimes. Experiment with a small square and with a large square (though any shape rectangle will do). A square of 4 x 4 has a perimeter of 16, and an area of 16. A smaller square has more perimeter than area. A larger square has more area than perimeter.
What is the area of a trapezoid if the perimeter is 32?
Unlike a square, knowing the perimeter of a trapezoid is not enough to be able to calculate its area. Think of a rectangle with a perimeter of 20cm. One possibility is that it has a length of 8cm and a width of 2cm. This would give and area of 16cm2. However the rectangle could have also had a length of 7cm and a width of 3cm as this would also give a perimeter of 20cm. However this rectangle now has an area of 21cm2. To be able to calculate the area of the trapezoid, you would need to know more about it than just its perimeter.
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.
The perimeter of a rectangle is 116 cm The base is thirteen more than two times the base What is the area?
645 sq cm.
What is the length of rectangle is 8 in more than its width the perimeter of the rectangle is 24 in what are the width and length of the rectangle?
10x2
The length of a rectangle is 5 more then the width Find the perimeter and the area of the rectangle?
the length of a rectangle is 5 more then the width. Find the perimeter and the area of the rectangle
How do you find the area of a rectangle with a perimeter of 36m?
how do you find the area of a rectangle witha perimeter of 36 in You don't. You need more information For example a 1 x 17 rectangle has a perimeter of 36 and its area is 17. But a 2 x 16 rectangle also has a perimeter of 36 and its area is 32.

What is the area of a rectangle with a perimeter of 30cm?
Let h and w equal the dimensions of the rectangle and A equal its area 2h + 2w = 30 The perimeter of the rectangle is the sum of its sides, two widths and two heights h*w = A The formula for the area of a rectangle We have two equations but three unknown variables. Without more information about this rectangle, it is impossible to solve for the area from the perimeter alone unless this rectangle was specified as being a square (which gives us a third equation, b = h )
How do you find the dimensions of a rectangle given only the total perimeter?
Length + width = half the perimeter, but more info eg area, is needed.

The length of a rectangle is 4 more than 3 times the width. if the perimeter of the rectangle is 18.4 cm what is the area of the rectangle?
Length of rectangle: 7.9 cm Width of rectangle: 1.3 cm Area of rectangle: 7.9 times 1.3 = 10.27 square cm
Can you calculate the area if you know the perimeter?
No, you can not calculate an area if you know just the perimeter. For example, rectangle with sides of 10 and 20 would have a perimeter of 60 and an area of 200, but a square of sides 15 would have a perimeter of 60 and an area of 225. You need to know more details about the shape than just the perimeter.
What is the area if the perimeter is 36?
The perimeter doesn't tell you the area. There are an infinite number of differentareas that it could have.-- If it's a circle with a perimeter of 36, then the area is 103.1324. (rounded)-- If it's a square with a perimeter of 36, then the area is 81 .-- If it's a rectangle with a perimeter of 36, then the area can be any numberthat's more than zero and less than 81 .
How do you know what the square feet is if 213 is the perimeter?
More information is needed. For the same perimeter, the area will vary, depending on whether you have a circle, a square, a rectangle with a ratio of 2:1, a rectangle with a ratio of 3:1, etc.
