Difference of opinion! I say yes. The base of a portrait page is its width (shorter side) but of a landscape page is its length (longer side).

Formulae for area of circle triangle parallelogram and rectangle?

Area circle: π × radius² Area triangle: ½ × base × height Area Parallelogram: base × height Area: Rectangle: length × width In a triangle, the base is any side between two vertices and the height is the perpendicular distance from this side to the third vertex. In a parallelogram the base is any side. The height is the perpendicular distance between this side and the side parallel to it.


What happens if the base of a rectangle is 0?

if a base of a rectangle is 0 then it is impossible for it to have 4 sides-it can only have one, because 0 cannot be a side length and therefore two of the sides are eliminated. The result is 2 line segments so close to each other that they are one. however, since by definition a rectangle has 4 sides, if a base or any other side (think about it) has a length of 0 in a rectangle, it is not a rectangle. simply put, there is no rectangle with a side length of 0.byagaboowu


How do you calculate the area of the base in a rectangle?

The base of a rectangle is a length and does not have any area. Therefore, the area can not be calculated.


Is any fact that is true for every rectangle is also true for every square?

No. "The lengths of adjacent sides can be different." True for a rectangle, not true for a square.


Can the perimeter of a rectangle be any integer value?

Possibly. The perimeter of a rectangle is the distance around the outside of the rectangle. A rectangle has four sides with opposite sides being congruent. The formula for finding the perimeter is Side A + Side B + Side A + Side B-Devon

The scale factor of a rectangle is 1 the length of the short side of the rectangle is 1 what is the length of the long side of the rectangle?

It is 5!!!! It can be any number


Is every parallelogram's a rectangle?

yes, as long as 2 sides are parallel, its a parallelogram.


What is height of the rectangle if the area is 108m base 18m side 20m?

The question cannot be answered because there is an error in the information provided. If the base of a rectangle is 18m, and the side is 20 m, then the area cannot be 108m. (It cannot be any number of metres since area must be measured in square metres, but that is another matter)


How do you calculate square footage of a rectangle?

Base times height. This gives you the area of a rectangle or any square.

How do you find perimeter and area of circle triangles and quadrilateral?

Circle:-- Perimeter ("circumference") = (pi) x (diameter) or (2 pi) x (radius)-- Area = (pi) x (radius)2 or (1/4 pi) x (diameter)2Triangle:-- Perimeter = (length of Side-#1) + (length of Side-#2) + (length of Side-#3)-- Area = 1/2 (length of triangle's base) x (triangle's height)Quadrilateral:Perimeter-- Any quadrilateral:(length of Side-#1) + (length of Side-#2) + (length of Side-#3) + (length of Side-#4)-- Parallelogram, rectangle, or kite: 2 x (length of 1 long side + length of 1 short side)-- Rhombus or square: 4 x (length of any side)Area-- Parallelogram, rhombus, rectangle, square: (length of base) x (height)-- Rectangle, square: (length) x (width)-- Square: (length of any side)2-- Trapezoid: 1/2 (height) x (length of Base-#1 + length of Base-#2)


What is the measure of the base of the rectangle if the area of the triangle is 32 ft 2?

The answer will depend on the relationship - if any - between the rectangle and the triangle.
