How do you find the length of a rectangle knowing ONLY the diagonal and the width?

You square the width and subtract it from the diagonal squared. Then find the square root of this number, this number is now the length.


Ho do you prove the formula for the area of a rectangle?

Use squares and try it out for yourself. Get a number of squares and make a rectangle 3 squares long by 4 squares wide. Count the squares. You should have 12 squares (or 3*4). That's the best way I know to prove the formula.


How can you find the area of a rectangle if the given is the perimeter and the diagonal?

First divide the perimeter by 2 then subtract the diagonal from this. The number left with must equal two numbers that when squared and added together equals the diagonal when squared (Pythagoras' theorem) These numbers will then be the length and height of the rectangle.


Is there a rectangle that is not a square?

yes there is an infinite number of them. However, ALL squares are rectangles


What is the dimensions of a rectangle for the number 32?

It is not possible to answer the question because you have not defined what 32 measures: is it the area of the rectangle, its perimeter, its diagonal or some other property?


How are the dimensions of the rectangles for a given number of square tiles related to factor pairs of the number?

The number of square tiles is always equal to factor pairs. As an example, imagine a rectangle that contains 8 squares - 2 rows of 4. 2 X 4 = 8. In other words, the dimensions of the rectangles are ALWAYS equal to a factor pair of the number of squares in the rectangle. A rectangle containing 24 squares could be made as 24x1, 12x2, 8x3, or 6x4.

What is the perimeter of a square with diagonal 12 centimeters?

The perimeter of a square with a diagonal of 12 centimeters is: 33.9 centimeters.In future, to find out the perimeter of a square when you only know it's diagonal, use Pythagoras or times the diagonal by 2.828427125.This number is irrational, and is like a pi for the diagonals of squares.I call it Tau.It is the relationship between the diagonal of all squares and there perimeter.
