The perimeter of any rectangle is [ 2 x (length + width) ].
Since the length and width of a square are equal, the perimeter of a square
is also [ 2 x (side + side) ] = (4 x side).

Explain why the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle and the formula for the perimeter of a square are different?
When you think about it for a while, they're really NOT different. The rectangle formula needs a bit more detail, because its sides don't all have the same length, so its length and its width have to be handled separately. But the rectangle formula works perfectly well if you use it to find the perimeter of a square.
What is the perimeter of a 10cm square?
What is a rectangle were the area is 10 and the perimeter
What formula expresses the perimeter of a rectangle in terms of its length?
The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is: p = 2(l + w) In other words, just add all four sides. You can't calculate the perimeter of the rectangle if you know only the length.
What is the perimeter of a rectange if the areas 405 yd?
The perimeter of a rectangle cannot be calculated by just knowing the area unless the rectangle is a square. In which case the perimeter will be 4 x square root of the area.
What are the dimensions of a rectangle that has a perimeter of 56 units and 96 square units?

Can you use he formula for the perimeter of a rectangle to find the perimeter of any square?
Square is a special case of a rectangle and the same formula may be used to find the perimeter
Can you use the formula for he perimeter of a square to find the perimeter of any rectangle?
no
Can you use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle to find the perimeter of any square?
yes
Can you use the formula for the perimeter of a square to find the perimeter of any rectangle?
I think so
What is the formula for the perimeter of a a square and a rectangle?
Perimeter of any rectangle = 2 x (L + W)('L'ength, 'W'idth) Since a square is a rectangle with all equal sides, L = W, perimeter = 2 X ( 2L ) = 4L

How do you use the formula of the perimeter of a rectangle to find the formula of the perimeter of a square?
The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle with length L and width W is P = 2*(L + W) In a square, the length and width are the same. So L = W And so A = 2*(L + L) = 2*(2L) = 4*L
What is the perimeter of the rectangle with a length of 8 inches is 48 square inches?
You must first calculate the width, using the formula for the area of a rectangle (plug in the numbers you know into the formula, and solve for width). Once you know this, you can plug in the numbers in the formula for a rectangle's perimeter.
Can you use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle to find the perimeter of any squere?
Yes. But using P=4s is easier with a square.
What is the difference between perimeter and area of polygon?
perimeter is the measure around the figure; area is the measure within the figure formula: perimeter: length+length+width+width=perimeter (for square or rectangle) area: length times width= area ( for square or rectangle)
Can the perimeter of a rectangle can be found using the formula P 4s.?
Not really. All 4 sides of a rectangle are not the same (unless it is a square)
The area of a rectangle is 100 inches the perimeter is 40 a second rectangle has the same area but a different perimeter. Is the second rectangle a square?
the area of a rectangleis 100 square inches. The perimeter of the rectangle is 40 inches. A second rectangle has the same area but a different perimeter. Is the secind rectangle a square? Explain why or why not.
