Can you find the area of a rectangle only knowing the perimeter?

To find the area of a rectangle, you multiply the length by the width (one side by a different side) Or you could count how many centimeter squares make up the rectangle


Can you find the perimeter if you know area of a rectangle?

You can find the perimeter of a rectangle if you know its area and the length of one side. Divide the area by the length of the known side and the quotient will be the length of a side perpendicular to the known side, and then multiply the sum of the two sides by two to find the perimeter.


How do you find a perimeter of a rectangle with one number given?

If you are given the area you will have to think what do you times with the number you have to get it.


What is a rectangle with a perimeter of 30?

One rectangle that has a perimeter of 30 has a length of 5 and a width of 10.


The length of the rectangle is 7cm more than the widthThe perimeter is 78cm Find the rectangle?

The rectangle is 23cm x 16cmHalf the perimeter is 78 / 2= 39cm (which is one side and one end).39 - 7 = 32cm32 / 2 = 16cm (one end)16 + 7 = 23cm (one side)Proof:(23 + 16) x 2 = 78cm the perimeter.


What is the perimiter of a rectangle if one side is 22 feet?

In order to know the perimeter of a rectangle, you need to know both its length and its width ... two numbers. One number isn't enough. If one side of a rectangle is 22 feet, then the perimeter of the rectangle can be any number greater than 44 feet. There are an infinite number of different possibilities.


Can rectangles with the same perimeter have different areas?

Yes. Say there are two rectangles, both with perimeter of 20. One of the rectangles is a 2 by 8 rectangle. The area of this rectangle is 2 x 8 which is 16. The other rectangle is a 4 by 6 rectangle. It has an area of 4 x 6 which is 24.


A rectangle has a perimeter of 10 ft Write the area A of the rectangle as a function of the length of one side x of the rectangle?

This question has no unique answer. A (3 x 2) rectangle has a perimeter = 10, its area = 6 A (4 x 1) rectangle also has a perimeter = 10, but its area = 4 A (4.5 x 0.5) rectangle also has a perimeter = 10, but its area = 2.25. The greatest possible area for a rectangle with perimeter=10 occurs if the rectangle is a square, with all sides = 2.5. Then the area = 6.25. You can keep the same perimeter = 10 and make the area anything you want between zero and 6.25, by picking different lengths and widths, just as long as (length+width)=5.


How do you find the area from the perimeter of a rectangle?

If the only information that you have is ... A) the figure is a rectangle, and B) the perimeter ... then you cannot calculate the area. The area of a rectangle is the length multiplied by the height., The perimeter is twice the length plus twice the height. So, a rectangle with a length of 9 units and a height of 1 unit will have a perimeter of 20 units and an area of 9 square units. Another rectangle with a length of 6 units and a height of 4 units will also have a perimeter of 20 units, but it will have an area of 24 square units. To be able to calculate the area from the perimeter you need to know one of two additional things - either one of the measurements, or the ratio of the height to the length.+++To summarise, you can, IF you know the ratio as mentioned. Then apply that to half the perimeter to find the length and breadth.


Why are there two perimeter formulas?

There are many perimeter formulas, because there's a different one for each shape. P= Perimeter For a rectangle, if L= Length and W=Width, then P= 2L plus 2W .


Is length of the rectangle and the perimeter are the same?

No. The length is the measurement of the distance from the bottom to the top of the rectangle, or from one side to the other side. The perimeter is the distance all the way around the rectangle.


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.
