What measurements do you need to find the area and perimeter of a rectangle how would you use these measurements to find the area and perimeter of a square?

The lengths of the base and the side. You would multiply these to get the area and would double sum of the two to obtain the perimeter measurement.

What measurements do you need to find the area and perimeter of a rectangle how would you use these measurements to find the area and perimeter of a rectangle?
you need length and width length multiply width = area length + length + width + width = perimeter
How would you describe a rectangle that has the least perimeter?
square
How do you find the perimeter of a rectangle when only the area is given?
You cannot find the perimeter unless the rectangle is a regular rectangle (a square) in which case the perimeter is 4 times the square root of the area. With just the area the shape of the rectangle could be any number of shapes with different perimeter, for example, imagine 6 square units 1cm by 1cm arranged in a 1*6 configuration to give a long thin rectangle, the perimeter would be 6+6+1+1=14cm, the same 6 arranged in a 3*2 rectangle would have the same area, but a perimeter of 3+3+2+2=10cm, for this reason a rectangle's perimeter cannot be determined from the area alone.
What shape has a perimeter of 16cm?
anything imaginary but a real shape would be a square or rectangle.
How do you maximize the area given the perimeter?
In the case of a rectangle, you would maximize the area given the perimeter by making the dimensions equal. In other words, you would make the rectangle into a square. However, to truly maximize the area, you would make the perimeter a perfect circle.

What is the perimeter of rectangle 7mx6m?
The area of rectangle is : 56.0
How would you describe a rectangle that has the least perimeter?
square
Is it possible to have a rectangle with the same perimeter and area?
NO, because if you did it would be a square
How do you measure area perimeter?
If you're trying to measure the perimeter of almost any shape like a square or triangle or octagon, simply count all the unit measurements of each side and add them together. If the unit your measuring is unknown, then leave it as units. For example, if you were finding the perimeter of a rectangle that has the measurements 6units, 6units, 4units, and 4units, the perimeter would be 20units. I hope this helped :)
A rectangle has an area of 36 square meters What is the measurement of its perimeter?
If it was a square, which is a rectangle, the perimeter would be 24 meters . But it was a regular rectangle than it could be a few things actually , one of them would be 26 meters . Another would be 40 meters I think .

What is the perimeter of the rectangle that is 0.9 square units?
There is no single answer to that The rectangle could be 0.9 by 1, giving a perimeter of 2x(0.9+1)=3.8 Or it could be 0.45 by 2, giving it a perimeter of 2x(0.45+2)=4.9 The minimum perimeter is when it is a square. The square root of 0.9 is approx 0.94868, so the perimeter would be approx 3.7947

Can you draw a rectangle that has an area of 6 square unit and a perimeter of 12 units?
Yes it measures 3 on all sides sides across from each other but it would have to be a square. Having a rectangle is impossible. Then again a square is a rectangle but a rectangle isn't a square.
How do you figure the area of a rectangle that has a perimeter of 36 cm?
If it was a square, the answer would be 81 square cm. The area will be the product of two numbers whose sum is half the perimeter.
