MULTIPLICATION
area for a rectangle is
A = L * W * H
where,
A = area of rectangle
L = Length of rectangle
W = width of rectangle
H = height of rectangle
The dimensions of a rectangle (L, W, and H) are interchangeable because they are being multiplied together and hence each side of the rectangle can be arbitrarily assigned to a dimension.

What is the perimeter of rectangle 3mx6m on the bottom of a triangle?
The perimeter is the sum of all four sides, so you need to calculate 2 x length + 2 x height. The fact that the rectangle is at the bottom of a triangle is irrelevant - except that in specific diagrams, information may be provided that lets you calculate the length or the width of the triangle.
How do you you get the area of a rectangle?
To calculate the area of a rectangle you need to multiply the width by the length
How is a parallelogram and a rectangle the same?
A rectangle is a parallelogram but a parallelogram need not be a rectangle and so they are not the same.
How do you calculate the perimetre of a rectangle or a square?
To get the perimeter, you need to add the lengths of the sides. In the case of a rectangle, with length L and width W, this simplifies to 2*(L+W). In the case of a square, where each side is of length L, it simplifes further to 4*L
How do you calculate dimensions of a rectangle when given diagonal?
You don't - you need additional information. Many different rectangles can have the same diagonal. If you know the diagonal and one side (which must be LESS than the diagonal), you can use Pythagoras' Theorem to calculate the other side.
Can you calculate a perimeter of a rectangle but not the length of its sides?
no No. You need to know the length of a rectangle's sides in order to calculate the perimeter.
How is perimeter and area related in a rectangle?
The perimeter of a rectangle is the distance around the rectangle. The area of a rectangle is the space inside the rectangle. To calculate either one you need the length and the width of the rectangle. To calculate the area multiply the length times the width. To calculate the perimeter add the length+width+length+width (that is the distance all the way around)
What is the surface area for a rectangle that is 50 in?
You need two dimensions to calculate the area of a rectangle. Area = length multiplied by width.
What is the area of a 1cm by 1.5cm rectangle?
To calculate the area of a rectangle, all you need to do is multiply the base and the height. In this case 1 and 1.5. So the area is simply 1.5.
How do you calculate how much paint you need for a swimming pool to?
You use the surface area formula for a rectangle, but remember to leave out the top of it.
What is the product of 288?
A product is a binary operation which means that you need TWO numbers before you can calculate a product.
What is the perimeter of rectangle 3mx6m on the bottom of a triangle?
The perimeter is the sum of all four sides, so you need to calculate 2 x length + 2 x height. The fact that the rectangle is at the bottom of a triangle is irrelevant - except that in specific diagrams, information may be provided that lets you calculate the length or the width of the triangle.
How do you you get the area of a rectangle?
To calculate the area of a rectangle you need to multiply the width by the length
The diagonal of rectangle is citizen its grade is 37 then the perimeter is?
You CAN'T calculate the perimeter of a rectangle, knowing only its diagonal. You do need some additional information about the rectangle - such as its width, or its length, or perhaps the length/width ratio.
How do you calculate area under the hydrograph curve without integrating?
Basically this isn't possible. Whenever you have an irregular curve, you need some kind of integration technique to get the area, or an estimate of the area. This can be quite simple, at least in principle: just approximate the area by narrow rectangles, calculate the area of each rectangle, and add everything up.
How is a parallelogram and a rectangle the same?
A rectangle is a parallelogram but a parallelogram need not be a rectangle and so they are not the same.
What is the perimeter of a rectangle with length of 11 cm and with of 4 cm?
To calculate the perimeter of a rectangle, you need to add together the length of each side of the rectangle. For a rectangle that is 11cm x 4cm, you would add these numbers together, then multiply it by 2 (this is because there are two sides that are 11cm and two sides that are 4cm). Thus: (11+4) x 2 = 30cm.
