You can't tell the dimensions from the perimeter. There are an infinite number of
rectangles, with different dimensions, that all have the same perimeter. If it's 168,
then the only thing you can be sure of is that the length and width add up to 84,
but you can't tell what either of those dimensions must be.

How can you get the width when you have the perimeter and the length?
If the shape is a rectangle, then Perimeter = 2(Length + Width) So Width = Perimeter/2 - Length
How do you find the length of a rectangle if the perimeter is 40 and the width is 2inches?
perimeter = 2 x (length + width) ⇒ length + width = perimeter ÷ 2 ⇒ length = (perimeter ÷ 2) - width So to find the length of the given rectangle, subtract the width from half the perimeter is how to do it. IF you meant "What is the length..." then: length = perimeter ÷ 2 - width = 40 ÷ 2 - 2 in = 20 - 2 in = 18 in
What is one different way to to find the perimeter of a rectangle?
Length + length + width + width = perimeter. Length + width x 2 = perimeter
How do you find the width of a rectangle if you know the perimeter and the length?
Perimeter = 2 * width + 2 * length, so rearranging --> width = (Perimeter / 2) - length
What can be concluded about a rectangles width if the ratio of length to perimeter is 1 to 3?
The width is half the length: The perimeter is twice the length plus twice the width. If the perimeter is 3 times the length, twice the width must be the length.
The length of a rectangle is equal to three times its width if the perimeter is equal to 168 feet what is the length of the rectangle?
63 feet
How can you get the width when you have the perimeter and the length?
If the shape is a rectangle, then Perimeter = 2(Length + Width) So Width = Perimeter/2 - Length
If the perimeter is 48 If the length is twic the width what is the length of rectangle?
perimeter = (2*length) + (2*width) length = 2*width so perimeter = (2*2*width) + 2*width = 6*width perimeter = 48 so you can figure out the width and length

How do you find width when you have perimeter and length?
width = (perimeter-2*length)/2
How do you get the area if you have the width and the perimeter?
Perimeter = 2 lengths + 2 widths 1/2 perimeter = length + width Length = 1/2 perimeter - width Area = length x width That's (1/2 perimeter - width) x (width) .

The width is half the length: The perimeter is twice the length plus twice the width. If the perimeter is 3 times the length, twice the width must be the length.
How can you calculate the length of a rectangle if the perimeter and the width are given?
Because the perimeter is lenght + length +width +width, you do perimeter - double the width, and then halve the remaining number. that should give you the length.
What is an expression for the perimeter of a rectangle that has a length which is seven times its width?
Perimeter = length + length + width + width Let "w" = width, then "7w" must equal the length (because it's 7 times the width) 7w + 7w + w + w = perimeter 16w = perimeter
How do you find the perimeter of yards?
The perimeter is the total distance around - width + width+ length + length.
