Yes and no. You can make the area narrower or wider, but you can't actually change it.

What is the perimeter of a triangle with an area of 924cm?

It can be anything greater than 3200.8 cm. By making the triangle taller and thinner you can keep the area constant while increasing the perimeter - without limit.


Why does the reminder have to be smaller than the number doing the dividing?

because if the remainder is larger than that means you can still keep on dividing the number...but once it is smaller it means that you can't divide anymore


If you increase the length of a rectangle what has to happen to its width to keep the perimeter the same?

If you increase the length then the width must decrease by the same amount if the perimeter is to remain the same.


How do you calculate acreage with an irregular shaped lot?

You need to measure the specific sides of the plot and then compute the area. You can break down the total plot into smaller subsections which are regular and easier for you to compute the area. First, place the largest rectangle you can within the boundaries of the irregular lot. Then, fill in the remaining areas outside the rectangle with smaller rectangles, triangles and cirlces -- whatever fits best. Keep going using smaller and smaller shapes for the remaing areas until you've covered most of it. Then, calculate the area of each shape: Rectangle = Width x Height Triangle = W x H / 2 Circle = 3.1416 x radius x radius Add up the areas of all the shapes for the total area of the irregular lot.

A rectangle has a perimeter of 10 ft Write the area A of the rectangle as a function of the length of one side x of the rectangle?

This question has no unique answer. A (3 x 2) rectangle has a perimeter = 10, its area = 6 A (4 x 1) rectangle also has a perimeter = 10, but its area = 4 A (4.5 x 0.5) rectangle also has a perimeter = 10, but its area = 2.25. The greatest possible area for a rectangle with perimeter=10 occurs if the rectangle is a square, with all sides = 2.5. Then the area = 6.25. You can keep the same perimeter = 10 and make the area anything you want between zero and 6.25, by picking different lengths and widths, just as long as (length+width)=5.


Do gases keep the same volume?

Usually not. They can easily expand into a larger volume, or be compressed into a smaller volume.


What is the differnece between the area and perimeter of a polygon?

The area of a polygon is the area inside, where the perimeter is the area outside. An Example of a flower bed the area tells you how many flowers you can plant. the perimeter tells you how much fence to buy to keep the rabbits out. The area of any n-gon is A=1/4 n*a^2 cot (pi/n) Where: A= Area N=# of Sides (5) a=first side length (1) cot= cotangent. a good source is [See related link "Source" below for the good source]

Is 0.02 bigger or smaller than 0.09?

Smaller. If you add .02 + .02 you would get .04 . Similarly in this fashion you keep adding .02 to itself. .02 + .02 + .02 + .02 .02 and you get .10 which is larger than .09 .09 + .09 = .18

What is the area of a boxing ring with the maxium perimeter of 80 feet?

You don't mean the "maximum perimeter".You can keep the perimeter of 80 feet, and shape the ring to make the areaas close to zero as you want it (but you can never make it exactly zero).What you really want to ask is: What's the maximum areayou can make with aperimeter of 80 feet ?If you play with it for a while ... which you really should do ... you'll find thatthe greatest area you can make with any perimeter is a circle, and the nextgreatest is a square, with 1/4 of the perimeter on each side.So for your boxing ring and 80 feet of ropes, the square is (20-ft x 20-ft), andthe area is 400 square feet. That's the biggest possible area.
