Why will a parallelogram always have a smaller area than a rectangle with the same measurements?
The area of a parallelogram is the length of the 'base' times the altitude. In a rectangle, which is a special case of parallelogram, the altitude is maximum length and also is equal in length to the other side.
How do you find the width of a rectangle knowing only the length?
the width is always shorter than the length. other than that, you would require more information about the rectangle (such as the area or the diagonal measurement) to ascertain the width
What is the length property of a parallelogram?
The base length of a parallelogram is larger than its width or its side.
How much larger is the side of a square circumscribing a circle 155 cm indiameter than a square inscribed in the same circle?
The circumscribing square has sides of length 155 cm. The inscribed square has diagonals of 155 cm and so has sides of 155/sqrt(2) cm. The sides of a circumscribing square is always larger than those of the inscribed square by sqrt(2) = 1.4142 (approx). The area of a circumscribing square is always larger twice as large as that of the inscribed square.
Is it sometimes always or never true that the perimeter of a rectangle is greater than the area?
It depends on the length and width... The smaller of the length and the width, the perimeter is greater than the area... But.. The bigger of the length and width, the area is greater than the perimeter. example : length = 5 , width = 2 AREA = 5 x 2 = 10 Perimeter = 2 x ( 5 + 2 ) = 14 example : length = 9 , width = 6 AREA = 9 x 6 = 54 Perimeter = 2 x (9 + 6) = 30 you can see the different.....
Is the area always larger than the perimeter?
No the area is not always larger than the perimeter. Ex. The area of a reectangle could be 4 feet. The width could be 4 while the length is 1. The perimeter total would be 10.
Rectangle whose perimeter is larger than area?
Perimeter is a unit of length. Area is a unit of area. The two units are not directly convertible.However, the area of a rectangle is length times width, and the perimeter is two times length plus two times width. Given constant perimeter, a square has maximum area, while a very thin rectangle has nearly zero area. (In calculus terms, the limit of the area as length or width goes to zero is zero.)Depending on how you want to name your units, you can always find a rectangle whose perimeter is "larger" than area, but this is a numerical trick that is not valid in any school of thought of mathematics that I know.
Is 1 kilometers bigger or lesser than 1 Miles squared?
A kilometer is a measure of length, and a square mile is a measure of area, so you can't compare them. However, a mile is longer than a kilometer (comparing length to length), and a square mile is larger than a square kilometer (comparing area to area).
Is length of a rectangle always larger than its breadth?
Conventionally, yes. But sometimes the orientation determines which side is called what.
Which is larger 1 sq centimetre or 1 sq millimetre?
Centi means 1/100 and milli means 1/1000. However, this is area and the difference is squared. So you have 10x10, i.e. 100 times difference. Centi is always going to be larger than milli, be it length, area or volume.
Is canada or US larger in area?
Canada is larger in area than the US by about 150,000 km2.

Is a centimeter larger than a square centimeter?
A square centimeter measures area, and a centimeter measures length, so they are not exactly comparable in size.
How much greater is the area of a square with a side length of 10 inches than a square with a side length of 8 inches?
102 = 100 82 = 64 100 - 64 = 36 The area of the larger square is 36 square inches more than the area of the smaller square, or 56.25% more.
What 2 countries have a larger area than China?
Russia and Canada are both larger than China in area.
