If the shape has more than three sides you cannot.

If you have a polygon with more than 3 sides, it is not a rigid shape. It can be deformed into another - just as a square can be deformed into a rhombus. The lengths of the sides do not change but the area does. So for any shape with more than 3 sides, there is no way.

For a triangle with sides of length a, b and c units

let s = (a+b+c)/2 units

Then area = sqrt[s*(s-a)*(s-b)*(s-c)]

Are faces the same as sides in a 2d shape?

No. A 2d shape is a plane area, which may be regarded as a face, which is bounded by a side or sides.


How do you figure the area if the sides are not the same?

It depends on the shape. There are different formulae for different shapes.


What condition for a triangle produce triangles that have the same area?

If another triangle has the same three sides, that is, sides of the same length, it will have the same area. Note that this is a sufficient, but not a necessary, condition, since you can also have triangles of a different shape that have the same area.


Can a rectangle have the same perimeter but different area explain?

No, any shape with four sides and same perimeter will always be a square.


What is regular and irregular shape?

What is the shape that has the most sides called?

Imagine a square. It has four sides of equal length.Now imagine a hexagon with the same area as the square. It has six sides, all of equal length; however, the hexagon's sides are shorter than the square's.Now imagine an octagon with the same area as the previous two shapes. It has eight sides, but each of its sides is even shorter than the square or hexagon.Now then ... imagine a shape with an infinite number of sides, but with the same area as our original square. Each of the infinite number of sides must be infinitely small (because the perimeter of shape is still finite, since its area is finite). This shape is a circle.One way to think of a circle is as a polygon with an infinite number of sides. By this way of thinking, the circle has more sides than any other polygon.


What shape has no sides that are the same?

an irregular shape


How do you find the area of a 4 side shape with all different liths?

Assuming "liths" is an unusual way of spelling lengths, you cannot because a quadrilateral is not a rigid shape. It can be deformed into a quadrilateral with the same sides but a different area. This can be illustrated by thinking of a square deforming into a rhombus. Same sides but different area.


What shape has perpendicular diagonals?

A square has perpendicular diagonals. They are all the same angle (90 degrees). All sides are the same length. To find area of a square, use the formula A=4s. (Area=4xthe lenghth of the sides.)


Which shape has four sides two adjacent sides are the same length the other two sides are the same length the shape has reflective symmetry?

A kite or arrowhead.
