A rectangle by definition has two pairs of sides with equal length. Since perimeter equals the length of all the sides. The equation for the perimeter of a rectangle could be thought of as: 2L + 2W = P Where L represents the length of one side of the rectangle and W represents the length of the adjacent (next to) side of the rectangle. If you know the length of one side and the perimeter, plug those values in as L and P and then solve for W. That will give you L and W which are the dimensions of the rectangle.

What formula expresses the perimeter of a rectangle in terms of its length?
The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is: p = 2(l + w) In other words, just add all four sides. You can't calculate the perimeter of the rectangle if you know only the length.
What is the length of a rectangle that its perimeter is 30?
The perimeter of a rectangle is not sufficient to determine its length.
The length of a rectangle is 4 cm more than the width If the perimeter of the rectangle is 20 cm what are the dimensions?
length + width = 20/2 = 10 length = 7cm, width = 3cm
What is the area of a rectangle whose perimeter is 136?
If the only information that you have is ... A) the figure is a rectangle, and B) the perimeter ... then you cannot calculate the area. The area of a rectangle is the length multiplied by the height., The perimeter is twice the length plus twice the height. So, a rectangle with a length of 9 units and a height of 1 until will have a perimeter of 20 units and an area of 9 square units. Another rectangle with a length of 6 units and a height of 4 units will also have a perimeter of 20 units, but it will have an area of 24 square units. To be able to calculate the area from the perimeter you need to know one of two additional things - either one of the measurements, or the ratio of the height to the length.

Then apply that to half the perimeter to find the length and breadth.
Can you calculate a perimeter of a rectangle but not the length of its sides?
no No. You need to know the length of a rectangle's sides in order to calculate the perimeter.
What is the effect on the perimeter of a rectangle if the dimension are doubled what is the effect on its perimeter?
A rectangle has two dimensions - length and width. Only if both dimensions are doubled, then the perimeter will be doubled.
The length of a rectangle is twice the width width the perimeter is 48 in find the dimensions of the rectangle?
If the length of a rectangle is twice its width and it has a perimeter of 48, then the rectangle is 16 in length and 8 in width.
How is perimeter and area related in a rectangle?
The perimeter of a rectangle is the distance around the rectangle. The area of a rectangle is the space inside the rectangle. To calculate either one you need the length and the width of the rectangle. To calculate the area multiply the length times the width. To calculate the perimeter add the length+width+length+width (that is the distance all the way around)
What are the dimensions of a rectangle whose perimeter is cm if its length is 2 cm more than thrice its width?
You forgot to put in the length of the rectangle's perimeter.
A rectangle has a perimeter of 72m If the length is 20 m longer than the width find its dimensions?
a rectangle has a perimeter of 72m. If the length is 20 m longer than the width find its dimensions?
The perimeter of a rectangle is 700 yards what are the dimensions of the rectangle if the length is 40 yards more than the width?
the perimeter of a rectangle is 700 yards. what are the dimensions of the rectangle if the lenght is 80 yards more than the width?
How do you calculate a perimeter of a rectangular block?
perimeter of rectangle=2(l+b) l=length of the rectangle b=breadth of the rectangle
What are the dimensions of a rectangle with a perimeter of 36 and a area of 81?
Length = 9 Width = 9 Your rectangle is a square.
If 15.6 and CE 4.5 what is the perimeter of the rectangle?
If the given dimensions are the length and width of a rectangle then its perimeter is 15.6+4.5+15.6+4.5 = 40.2
How to get the deminsions of a rectangle?
The dimensions of a rectangle are the length and the width. With these two measurements , the area of the rectangle can be calculated : Area = length x width. The perimeter can also be found : Perimeter = (2 x length) + (2 x width).
What is the area of a rectangle that its perimeter is 39?
156 It is impossible to calculate the area of a rectangle from its perimeter if no other dimension is known. The area of a rectangle is the product of its length and width, and the perimeter is twice the sum of its length and width.
