It depends on the shape, but I'm assuming you mean a square or rectangle. If it is not this shape, edit the question.

In this equation L=Length W=Width

So, to get the perimeter, you would use this equation: 2L+2W= Perimeter

Add up (double the length) plus (double the width).


How do i find the perimeter of a rectangle if you know its length and its width?

Add up (two lengths) plus (two widths) and you have the perimeter.


When given the perimeter how do you find the length and width?

Assuming you mean a rectangle: use the formula:p = 2(l+w) (i.e., perimeter equals twice length plus width). In this formula, replace p with the known perimeter, and l with the given length, then solve for width.


Do you times the length and width or plus it?

to find the area of a rectange you times, to find the perimeter, you add them then times by 2


How do find the width?

Perimeter = Width x 2 + length x 2. To find width, you minus the length from perimeter because opposite of ADD is SUBTRACT.


How do you find the perimeter of the base of a rectangular prism?

Perimeter = 2 x (length+width). You add the length to the width and multiply the sum by two.


How does the length and width of a rectangle relate to the perimeter?

If you add the length and width together, it will always be half of the perimeter. In terms of an equation, it would look like so: Perimeter = (2 x Length) + (2 x Width)

Is length times width the answer to perimeter?

No. (a) it is perimeter, not perimeder (b) it is length, not lenght. Length times Width is area (for a rectangle). Perimeter is the sum of all the sides, so 2*(Length + Width)


when you are trying to find the area or perimeter of something do you multipli?

Nearly always multiply. However, for the perimeter of a rectangle, you add the length + width + length + width. This is even simplified by multiplying the length and the width by 2


How can you find the perimeter of a rectangle if you know its length and width?

The formula for perimeter is 2l+2w or 2*length + 2*width. This means that you multiply the length by two and multiply the width by two. Then, you add the two products together to find the perimeter.
