The area is directly proportional to both the length andwidth of a rectangle. Thus if one is halved then the area is also halved.

What happens to a rectangle if length is doubled and breadth is triple?
It becomes a bigger rectangle - possibly a square.
In what way is a square different from a rectangle?
A square is a special kind of rectangle ... one that happens to have equal length and width.
What is the length in inches of a rectangle that has an area of 18.75 sq in and a length that happens to be 3 8ths of the perimeter?

Is rectangle always square?
A square is a rectangle that just happens to have all its sides of equal length. That is the only instance in which a rectangle is a square, so no. A rectangle is not always a square.
How do you know that the perimeter of a rectangle is directly proportional to its length?
The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula P = 2(l + w). It is clear that as the length, l, increases, the perimeter, P, increases, as well. We say, therefore, that P is directly proportional to l. If l is the length and b is width of a rectangle then, the perimeter P of the rectangle is 2(l + b) units. P = 2(l + b) P = 2l + 2b If have b as a constant then, 2b will be a constant. Now l is the varying quantity. Say 2b = K P = 2l +K Perimeter changes if the length of the rectangle changes. In particular, if the length increases the perimeter of the rectangle increases. Similarly, if the length decreases the perimeter also decreases. So, the perimeter is directly proportional to the length of the rectangle. Source: www.icoachmath.com In the most simplest explanation, the sum of both lengths, and both widths of the rectangle, IS the perimeter. So obviously the perimeter is directly proportionate to its length (and its width).
What happens to the area of a rectangle if both the length and width double?
the area also doubles
The width of a rectangle is one half its length The perimeter of the rectangle is 54cm What are the width and length of the rectangle?
The length of the rectangle is 18cm. The width of the rectangle is 9cm.
Where is the length in the rectangle?
The length is the longest side in the rectangle.
What happens to the perimeter of the rectangle if the length is decreased by 4 cm and the width is increased by 2 cm?
The perimeter decreases by 4. Decreasing the length by 4 decreases the perimeter by 8. Increasing the width by 2 increases the perimeter by 4. -8+4=-4 For example: Area of a rectangle could be: 8 x 6 (8 being the length and 6 being the width). The perimeter is 8+8+6+6=28 If the length is decreased by 4 then it becomes 4 If the width is increased by 2 then it becomes 8. The perimeter becomes 4+4+8+8=24
If the length of a rectangle is 36 inches what is the width?
if the length is 36 on a rectangle then what is the width of the rectangle
Width and the length of a rectangle?
The width and length of a rectangle will vary depending on the size of the rectangle. The width is the shortest side of the rectangle while the length is the longest side.
How do you find the width of a rectangle when the height is 7 ft and the length is 23 ft?
A rectangle only has 2 dimensions. The longer one is usually called the length, and the shorter one is usually called the width. But if the rectangle happens to be standing up on one of its sides, then either the length or width may become its height. Whenever you see "height" of a rectangle, that number will be either the length or the width of the rectangle when the drawing is lying flat on the desk.
