How do you get perimeter of building when you know the square feet of a building?

You can't. The area doesn't tell you the dimensions or the perimeter. You absolutely
must know something else besides the area. For example, if you know the area, and
you also know that the building is square, then the perimeter is four times the square
root of the area. But that's only an example. The main thing is: You can't figure out
anything else from just the area and no other information.
Here's an example:
If you had a building that was 40ft x 40ft it's square feet would be 1600, but it's perimeter would be 40+40+40+40 or 160.
If instead you had a building that was 20ft x 80ft it's square feet would be 1600, but it's perimeter would be 20 + 80 + 20 + 80 or 200.
So see, both have the same square feet, but different perimeters.

What is the perimeter of a 4' square?
Its perimeter is 16'. A square has to have four equal sides, so you know that if one side is four feet then all the others must also be four feet. The perimeter is the sum of all the sides, so you will just need to add 4+4+4+4 to get a total perimeter of 16 feet.
What is the area of a square when perimeter is 12 feet?
There are two equations that need to be known for this. The first is that the perimeter of a square is 4 times the side length. So in this case the perimeter is twelve feet, we know that the side length must be 3 feet. The other equation is that the area of a square is the side length squared. So in this case, the side length is 3 feet, so the area is 9 feet2
You have 133.33 yards of carpet how many square feet will that cover?
To know how much square feet this will cover, We need the info about what the perimeter of the carpet is first, otherwise this question cannot be answered. (If you do not have a defined perimeter, equal length and width would make the most area.)
What are the uses of perimeter?
A perimeter is the border round an area. As to the area, imagine a field 200 feet by 50 feet: 200 × 50 = 10,000 square feet. The distance round the edge would be 500 ft. You might need this if you wanted to know the necessary length of a fence.
What is the measurements of 600 square feet?
The area of a shape does not determine its measurements. You need to know its shape. All that can be said is that the perimeter of the shape must be at least 86.83 feet (approx).
What is the perimeter of 24 square ft?
To know the perimeter, you must know the dimensions (length and width). But there are many possible dimensions if you have 24 square feet.
How do you find the area of a yard using the perimeter in square feet?
You can't only using the perimeter. You have to know length and width.

What is the area of a square with a perimeter of 28 feet?
The perimeter of a square is the sum of all four sides, so if the perimeter of a square is 28 feet, we can set up the equation: 4s = 28 where s is the length of one side of the square. To find the area of the square, we need to know the length of one side, so we can divide both sides of the equation by 4: s = 28/4 s = 7 So the length of one side of the square is 7 feet. To find the area of the square, we can square the length of one side: Area = s^2 Area = 7^2 Area = 49 square feet So the area of a square with a perimeter of 28 feet is 49 square feet.

How do you know what the square feet is if 213 is the perimeter?
More information is needed. For the same perimeter, the area will vary, depending on whether you have a circle, a square, a rectangle with a ratio of 2:1, a rectangle with a ratio of 3:1, etc.
Is area always more or equal to the perimeter in a square?
The area of a square is equal to twice the square's perimeter.
If you know a perimeter of a square but not the length or width how do you find the area?
Divide the perimeter by 4 and then square the result to find the area of the square.

How can you find the perimeter of a square if you know the area?
You square-root the area
