That wouldn't be a square.
A square with a side length of 3 inches has an area of 9 square inches.
Area = 9 sq inches Length of side = sqrt(9) = 3 inches Perimeter = 4*Length of side = 4*3 = 12 inches
To find the area of a square, you multiple the length of the side by itself. So a square with sides 3 inches long has an area of 3 x 3 = 9 square inches. (Draw a diagram if you need convincing!)
The area of a rectangle is length times width. If length and width are in inches, the area will be square inches.
3" x 2" = 6 square inches. (just multiply length x width).
What is the length of the rectangle? If you had said one of the sides of a square was 3 inches, you could multiply 3 inches by 3 inches to get the value in square inches.Area = 3l square inches, where l = length of the rectangle in inches.
15 square inches
The length of a triangle with a height of 12 inches and an area of 18 square inches is 3 inches, since area is 1/2 * base * height. Therefore, 2 * area divided by height = 2 * 18 /12 = 3
To calculate the area of a rectangle :- Measure the length. Measure the width. Multiply the length by the width - the product is the area. EXAMPLE : length = 7 inches, width = 3 inches, Area = 7 x 3 = 21 square inches.
It is: 3*3*6 = 54 square inches
Area of a rectangle = L W = (24 x 3) = 72 square inches.
A rectangle with one side that is double the length of the other side can be seen as two squares beside each other, that are half the area of the original rectangle, in this case 18 square inches / 2 = 9 square inches. The side of a square is the square root of the area, in this case the square root of 9 square inches, which is 3 inches. Now think about the rectangle again. What we just counted was the side of a square that made up one half of the rectangle you wanted to calculate the area of. So the shorter side of the rectangle is the same as our square, and the longer side is double the length. So the width of the rectangle is 3 inches, and the length is 2 * 3 inches = 6 inches. Or: Area = length x width (A=lw) Area = 18 (in2) Width = w Length = twice width (2w) 18 = (2w)w 18 = 2w2 9 = w2 3 = w The width is 3 in., the length (2w) is 6 in.
