What is the relationship between the length and width that will provide the largest area of a three sided rectangle?

There is no such thing as a three sided rectangle. They have four sides. Length and width of a rectangle being THE SAME (having a 1:1 ratio) will provide the largest area possible. In other words, for a given perimeter, a square is the largest rectangle. If you mean a triangle (which has three sides), then all sides being equal will still yield the largest area.

What is the relationship between a parallelogram a rectangle and a square?

A square has all the properties of a rectangle and rhombus. (A square is always a rectangle.) A rectangle is not always a square but is always a parallelogram. A parallelogram is a quadrilateral (four sided figure) with both pairs of opposite sides are parallel. A rectangle is a quadrilateral with four right angles.

No because a rectangle has different properties to a rhombus but they are both 4 sided quadrilaterals


What is the difference between a prarllelogram and a rectangle?

A Rectangle is any four-sided shape where the angles inside all four corners are right angles (90 degrees). A square, therefore, is a rectangle where all the shapes are the same size. A parallelogram is any four sided shape where sides are the same length as the one opposite, but not at right angles to each other.


What is a rectangle in math?

What is the area of a four sided parallelogram?

If a parallelogram is four sided then it can be a square ,rhomobus,rectangle. the area of square = side * side the area of rectangle = length * breadth the area of rhombus = 1/2 (diagonal1 + diagonal2) And also, a parallelogram is always four sided.And if it is none of these ,then are of parallelogram =length * breadth
