How do you find length and width of a rectangle when peremiter is given?

You really can't unless you know something else about the length or width or even the area of the rectangle. You have 2 unknowns (length & width) & only one equation (perimeter). In order to find 2 unknowns you need 2 equations, that's why you need to know something else about the rectangle such as how the length & width are related to each or the area of the rectangle. Hope that helps.

The peremiter of a rectangle is 234 in the length exceeds the width by 39 inches find the length and width?
Since the length exceeds the width by 39 inches, if x is the width, then you can express the length as x + 39. Now, use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle, replacing known values: perimeter = 2(length + width) 234 = 2(x + 39 + x) Solving this for "x" will result in the width; add 39 to get the length.
What the area of the rectangle when the width is 4 inches?
That would depend on the length of the rectangle which has not been given but the area of a rectangle is length times width
How do you find the length of an rectangle by given the area and width?
Divide the area by the width and it will give you the length.
How do you find the length and width of rectangle when given the perimeter but not the width or length?
by appying 2l+2w
How do you find the length of a rectangle given the units but not the length or width?
You cannot.
What is the peremiter of a rectangle?
The formula for perimeter of a rectangle is: P=2L+2W where L is the length and W is the width of the rectangle.

How do you find the length of a rectangle when the width and area are provided?
For a rectangle, area equals length times width. To find the length given the width and area, divide the area by the width.
How do you find the length of a rectangle given the width and area?
the area of a rectangle = length x widthwe can rearrange this to give uslength of a rectangle = area/ width
How do you find the width of a rectangle if the area and length are given?
Divide area by length and that gives you width.
How do you find the length of an rectangle by given the area and width?
Divide the area by the width and it will give you the length.

You cannot.
What special name is given to a rectangle whose length and width are the same?
If a rectangle has its length equal to its width, then all four sides are of equal length and it is a square.
How do you find the length of a rectangle given the width?
You can't. If I tell you the width, the length can still be anything at all.
What is the length and width of a rectangle if the area is 2200 square feet?
The length and width can't be determined since it is a rectangle. A length would need to be given, or it would have to be a square.
