You write two simultaneous equations, one for the area (ab = 24) and one for adding the length and width (a + b = 11). Then you solve them. I suggest you solve the second equation for "a", then replace the value you find in the other equation.

What size rectangle have exactly 100 squares?

It can be any rectangle having a combination of width and length that, when multiplied together, yield a product of 100 squares. The rectangle could be 1 square wide and 100 squares long, or 5 squares wide and 20 squares long, or it could be a plane square with 10 squares wide on each side.


How find area of rectangle?

Simple. Just multiply the length by the width of the rectangle. This also works for squares.


Is a rectangle always a square why?

No. The square is a special case of rectangle where all the sides are of equal length. So some rectangles are squares, and all squares are rectangles.


Why are all squares rectangles but not all rectangles squares?

Look at the definition of a square and a rectangle, and it should become quite clear. Briefly, a rectangle may, or may not, have sides of different length. If it does have sides of different length, then it is not a square.


Are all square rectangle?

Yes, all squares are also rectangles. But not all rectangles are also squares. Squares are a specific type of rectangle that has all equal length sides and all 90 degree vertices.


Why a square can be rectangle and rectangle can not be square?

The above statement is not true since some rectangles ARE squares. Squares are a special type of a rectangle - one in which all sides are of equal length. In other words, the set of all squares is a subset of the set of all rectangles.


How do you count the number of squares crossed by the diagonal in a rectangle?

To find the length of a diagonal in a rectangle, use the Pythagorean method. Diagonal length = square root(length squared + height squared).


Why is the area formula for a rectangle length times width?

Imagine the rectangle divided into squares corresponding to length and width... Eg a 6" x 5" rectangle would have 5 rows of six one-inch squares, total 30, which would make its area 30 squinches


How is a square a rectangle?

A square is a rectangle because the definition of a rectangle is that it has four straight sides and the opposite sides are equal in length. Squares have four straight sides, and their opposite sides match up in length. Therefore, a square is also a rectangle.


Why is rectangle not a square?

All squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares. A square has all sides the same length and all internal angles 90 degrees. A rectangle has opposite sides the same length and internal angles of 90 degrees.


What makes square and rectangle the same?

They are not technically the same. A square is a rectangle but a rectangle is not a square. A rectangle requires opposite sides to be the same length. A square's opposite sides are the same length so it is a rectangle. A square requires all sides to be the same length, not just opposite sides. So most rectangles are not squares.
