What is the formula for finding lengths of a square when you are given a volume?

None exist. A square is a measurement of area, length is a linear measurement and volume is a capacity. To find the lengths of a square from the area, take the square root of the area. To find the lengths of a cube from the volume, take the cube root of the volume. To clarify: Area refers to a two-dimensional space. Volume is three dimensional, and thus appropriate for a cube or ball, not a square or circle.


What are the side lengths of a square if it's area is 81m2?

9 metres. Squares have 4 equal sides, so in order to find the side length when given the area, you take the square root of the area.


Find the side length of a square if area of 125.9 square meters?

The side lengths of a square if area of 125.9 square meters is: 11.22 meters.


Is area inside the square or outside the square?

The area is the inside. The perimiter is around. If its a rectangle, to find the area you multiply the lengths of two sides


Why do you not usually multiply the side lengths of a parallelogram to calculate its area?

To find area you need base and height of a parallelogram. A = BH Not all the side lengths given would be base or height. Side lengths are perfect to find perimeter but don't rely on the side lengths for area.


How do you find the measure of a side if they are given the area of a square?

Square root the area


How do you find the side length of a square when the area is already given?

The area of a square is given as the square of a side. So simply take the square root of the area for a side.


How do you find the height of a trapezoid when area given?

If the lengths of the bases are also given then rearrange the area of the trapezoid formula so that the height is the subject.


How do you find the area of a figure and write the area in square units?

Unless there is a given measurement of the lengths of the sides of the figure (ex. cm., mm., in.) you would say units, and put a little 2 as an exponent because you need to write square units.


How many rectangles are in a 5 by 5 square?

To find area of a square, you multiply side lengths. 5 x 5 = 25


How do you convent square millimeters to square meters?

Millimeters are fractions of a meter. There are 1000 mm in 1m. The easiest way to find the number of meters in a given quantity of millimeters is to divide by 1000. Since square measures are made by multiplying lengths and widths, 1 square meter (1mx1m) is equal to 1,000,000 square millimeters (1000mmx1000mm.) To find a number of square meters in an area of square millimeters, you can divide the given area by 1million. For example: A square with sides measuring 123mm has an area of 15129mm^2. Dividing that number by 1million converts it to 0.015129m^2


How do you find the area of a triangle with side lengths?

If you are only given the side lengths of a scalene triangle, it is impossible for you to find for the area, unless you are given more information... like the height of the triangle for example. If this is a right triangle you would like to find the area of, you can multiply the length of each leg with each other, and then divide that product by 2 to conclude the area of the triangle.
