As written, that's confusing. The length and width of a triangle wouldn't have any bearing on the perimeter and area of a rectangle unless they overlap in some drawing that only you are looking at.

Let's assume you meant rectangle all along. If the dimensions of a rectangle increased 4 times the perimeter would also increase 4 times. The area would increase 16 times.

Try it out.

A 2 x 3 rectangle has perimeter 10 and area 6.

An 8 x 12 rectangle has perimeter 40 and area 96.

Does changing the area always change the perimeter?

No. A rectangle of 1 x 3 has the same perimeter as a rectangle of 2 x 2, but the areas are different.


What happens to area and perimeter of a triangle when it is moved?

Just moving a triangle, or rotating, or even reflecting (without scaling) a shape will not change its area or its perimeter.


How can the perimeter stay the same and the area change?

4x4 square: perimeter - 16 area - 16 6x2 rectangle perimeter - 16 area - 12


Does the perimeter of a rectangle change when you double the dimensions?

Yes. The perimeter is a measure of the combined length of all the sides. If you double the lengths of the sides then naturally this will also necessarilychange the perimeter (it will double the perimeter).


Does the perimeter of a rectangle change if you double only the width?

Yes, because you are increasing one of the sides.


What is the perimeter of a rectangle has an area of 5cm square?

The perimeter of a rectangle cannot be determined with the area alone as the lengths could vary. For example, the perimeter of the rectangle could be 12 (1 and 5) or 9 (2 and 2.5). For both cases, the area is still 5cm2, but the length can still change to result in different results.


Why is triangle stronger than a rectangle?

Given unchanging lengths of the sides, a triangle cannot change its shape. But given unchanging lengths of the sides of a rectangle, it can change its shape by some force by changing its angle measurements. If a 2d load were put on a rectangle, enough force could squish the rectangle into a parallelogram, whereas a triangle cannot change shape without changing the lengths of its sides or bending its sides out of shape (most likely into a curve).Given these properties, a rectangle can collapse its shape much more easily and is flimsy compared to a triangle.


How does the perimeter of rectangle change when the length of side is decreased by 1 unit?

It depends on what side is being decreased All rectangles have perimeter 2l+2w where l is the length and w is the with if the length is decreased by 1 then the rectangle will have perimeter 2(l-1)+2w, similarly if the with is decreased by 1 then it will have perimeter 2l+2(w-1).


How will the area of a rectangle change if the length and width is multiplied by 4?

It will be 16 times bigger 4 x 4 = 16


How does the perimeter of a rectangular change if one of its sides is doubled?

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + breadth) if one of it's side is doubled then, the resultant perimeter will be 2(2length + breadth) or 2(length + 2 breadth) as the case may be.


How do you make a rectangle with the same perimeter but different area?

You just have to change the lengths of the sides. For example, if you wanted a perimeter of 20, your rectangle could be... 1x9 with area of 9 2x8 with area of 16 3x7 with area of 21 4x6 with area of 24 5x5 with area of 25 All of these have the same perimeter, but a different area, see?


How do you change a tile to a triangle?

If a tile is a square or rectangle, cut the tile from corner to corner and you will create two triangles.
