That is the formula for a rectangle. In the case of a square, since length = width, this can be simplified as 4 x base, where "base" is the length of any of the 4 identical sides. In the case of a rectangle, "l+l+w+w" can be simplified to 2l + 2w, or 2(l+w).

What is the perimeter equation for a square?

P_square=4L where L is the length of the side of the square.


Do you add length plus width to get perimeter?

It depends on the shape, but I'm assuming you mean a square or rectangle. If it is not this shape, edit the question. In this equation L=Length W=Width So, to get the perimeter, you would use this equation: 2L+2W= Perimeter


If a carpet has an area of 48 square meters and the perimeter is 32 square meters what is the length and width?

Length (L) x Width (W) = Area 2*L+2*W = Perimeter 48/W=L (solved for L) 2*48/W+2*W=32 (inserted L into perimeter equation) 48+W^2=16*W (quadratic equation or factor) W=12 or 4 Therefore L=4 when W= 12 or L=12 when W=4 Length (L) x Width (W) = Area 2*L+2*W = Perimeter 48/W=L (solved for L) 2*48/W+2*W=32 (inserted L into perimeter equation) 48+W^2=16*W (quadratic equation or factor) W=12 or 4 Therefore L=4 when W= 12 or L=12 when W=4


What is the formula for finding the perimeter of a s quare?

Perimeter of square = 4 x L where L = length of one side of the square.


What is the perimeter of a square if the length of one side is l?

The perimeter would be the sum of the lengths of the four sides.P = 4*l


How do you use the formula of the perimeter of a rectangle to find the formula of the perimeter of a square?

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle with length L and width W is P = 2*(L + W) In a square, the length and width are the same. So L = W And so A = 2*(L + L) = 2*(2L) = 4*L


What is the area of a square with a perimeter of 12feet?

Perimeter = 4L where L is the length. So in this case L=3 and area is 3x3 or 32 =9 there perimeter can not be 4 because 4x4=16 it is is the square root of 12


Are the units for finding perimeter always square?

No, perimeter is always measured in units of length (L)


What is the equation on perimeter?

The perimeter of a plane figure is the length of its boundary. Thus the perimeter of a rectangle of length L and width W is 2L + 2W. The perimeter of a circle is the length of its circumference.


What is the perimeter of a square with each area of 16 cm squared?

To find the perimeter of a square, you first need to work out the side length. The area of a square is L2 where L is the side length. The area of the square in the question is 16cm2 so L is the square root of 16, or 4. To get the perimeter of the square, we simply multiply the side length by 4. In this case 4x4=16, so the perimeter of the square is 16cm.


What is the formula for the perimeter of a a square and a rectangle?

Perimeter of any rectangle = 2 x (L + W)('L'ength, 'W'idth) Since a square is a rectangle with all equal sides, L = W, perimeter = 2 X ( 2L ) = 4L
