Are the units for finding perimeter always square?
No, perimeter is always measured in units of length (L)
Can the perimeter of a desk be measured in cubic units?
No. Just like a length, a perimeter is measured in linear units.
What should you use with area and perimeter square units or units?
units with perimeter square units with area
Is the perimeter of a rhombus in units or square units?
Units, because the perimeter is just the edge. The area is square units.
Why is a perimeter measured in units?
It's a length.
Is perimeter measured in cubic units or square?
A perimeter is measured in LINEAR units. Neither 'square' units nor 'cube' units.
Why is perimeter measured in units and area measured in sq units?
Because a perimeter is measured in linear units while an area is measured in square units.
Are the units for finding perimeter always square?
No, perimeter is always measured in units of length (L)
Is the perimeter of a square always smaller than its area?
Units mismatch prevents any comparison of the values:perimeter is measured in units of length (e.g. inches, meters, miles)area is measured in units of area (e.g. square inches, square meters, square miles)
Can the perimeter of a desk be measured in cubic units?
No. Just like a length, a perimeter is measured in linear units.
If the perimeter of a square is 24 square units what is the area?
36 square units. You can't express a perimeter in square units; a perimeter is a length expressed in ordinary units. If the perimeter of this square is 24 units then the answer above is correct.
What should you use with area and perimeter square units or units?
units with perimeter square units with area
If the area of a square is 35 square units what is the perimeter?
If the area of a square is 35 square units the perimeter is: 23.66 units.
A square with an area 90000 square units What is its perimeter?
A square with an area 90,000 square units has a perimeter of: 1,200 units.
Is the perimeter of a rhombus in units or square units?
Units, because the perimeter is just the edge. The area is square units.
Why is perimeter measured in units?
Then what do you measure it with?
Why is perimeter measured in linear units?
Perimeter is measured in Linear Units because it is Measurement of The Outline or Path of a given shape or area; a Perimeter is NOT the Measurement of What is Inside that Outline/Path. It is a One-Dimensional measurement, which MEANS it is a Linear Unit Measurement, such as Feet or Meters.Alternatively, a Two-Dimensional Measurement, is the Square of a Linear Unit -- like AREA is a Two-Dimensional Measurement and therefore Measured in Linear Units Squared (i.e. meters2/Square Meters or feet2/Square Feet). Area is the Measurement of What is Contained within a given Perimeter.
