How do you determine the area of a rectangle if perimeter is given?

First, think of the possible factors of the perimeter.
Example.... 36
6 x 6
1 x 36
2 x 18
3 x 12
I will use 2 x 18. Now you divide both 2 and 18 by 2. That equals 1 and 9. Now multiple 1 x 9 = 18 so the perimeter of a 36 cm rectangle is 18
OR try 6 x 6 which reduces to 3 and 3, and their product is 9.
I do believe that just the perimeter is insufficient data for a valid answer.
===========================================
You can't. The perimeter doesn't tell the area. There are an infinite number of
shapes with different dimensions and different areas that all have the same
perimeter.

What is the type of rectangle with the greatest area for a given perimeter?
The square is.
If sides of rectangle A to rectangle B has ratio 4 to 5. What would the perimeter of rectangle A if the rectangle B has a perimeter of 100 What about area of Rectangle A if the area of rectangle B is?
The perimeter of rectangle A would then be 80 because 80 to 100 is 4 to 5 simplified and the area of triangle A would depend on the sides and area of rectangle B which have not been given.
How do you maximize the area given the perimeter?
In the case of a rectangle, you would maximize the area given the perimeter by making the dimensions equal. In other words, you would make the rectangle into a square. However, to truly maximize the area, you would make the perimeter a perfect circle.
What is the perimeter of a rectangle when the square root is 36cm?
The area of a rectangle is not enough information to determine its shape (thin and narrow or fat and short) and therefore its perimeter.
How do you find a perimeter of a rectangle with one number given?
If you are given the area you will have to think what do you times with the number you have to get it.
How do you find the area of rectangle given its perimeter?
You cannot.
How do you describe a rectangle with the given area that has the smallest perimeter?
square
What is the type of rectangle with the greatest area for a given perimeter?
The square is.
How do you determine the area and perimeter of a rectangle?
for area we should multiple length X breadth for perimeter we should do 2x(LxB)
What is the perimeter of a 40 acre rectangle of land?
Any length greater than 1 mile. The area of a rectangle is not sufficient to determine its perimeter.
If sides of rectangle A to rectangle B has ratio 4 to 5. What would the perimeter of rectangle A if the rectangle B has a perimeter of 100 What about area of Rectangle A if the area of rectangle B is?
The perimeter of rectangle A would then be 80 because 80 to 100 is 4 to 5 simplified and the area of triangle A would depend on the sides and area of rectangle B which have not been given.
What is the perimeter of a rectangle when the square root is 36cm?
The area of a rectangle is not enough information to determine its shape (thin and narrow or fat and short) and therefore its perimeter.
Formula of a rectangle?
There is no formula for a rectangle. There are formula for calculating its area, perimeter or length of diagonals from its sides, or it is possible to calculate the length of one pair of sides given the other sides and the area or perimeter, or the two lots of sides given area and perimeter and so on.
How do you maximize the area given the perimeter?
In the case of a rectangle, you would maximize the area given the perimeter by making the dimensions equal. In other words, you would make the rectangle into a square. However, to truly maximize the area, you would make the perimeter a perfect circle.
If two shapes have the same perimeter will they have the same area?
Not at all. For example:A square of 2 x 2 will have a perimeter of 8, and an area of 4. A rectangle of 3 x 1 will also have a perimeter of 8, and an area of 3.A "rectangle" of 4 x 0 will also have a perimeter of 8, but the area has shrunk down to zero. The circle has the largest area for a given perimeter/circumference.
How do you find a perimeter of a rectangle with one number given?
If you are given the area you will have to think what do you times with the number you have to get it.
What is the maximum area for a rectangle whose perimeter is 136?
The maximum area for a rectangle of fixed perimeter is that of the square that can be formed with the given perimeter. 136/4 = 34, so that the side of such a square will be 34 and its area 342 = 1156.
