Same perimeter different area?
Circle, square, triangle and rectangle of same perimeter. Which will have more area?? The circle will have the greatest area. For regular polygons, the greater the number of vertices, the greater the area. (And so, in the limit, the circle, with an infinite number of vetices, has the greatest area.)
Can width of a rectangle be greater than the length?
yes
What is a characteristic of a triangle right triangle and obtuse?
A right triangle has a 90 degree angle, and an obtuse triangle has an angle greater than 90 degrees
Does obtuse triangle must have greater area than an acute triangle?
yes. take an obtuse triangle that has a base of 8cm and a height of 3cm. then, take a right triangle that has a base of 3 cm and a height of 4 cm. do the math. the obtuse triangle will have a greater area. hope this helps.
What is the smallest number greater than 1 that is both triangle and square?
The answer is 36...Triangle = 1,3,6,10,15,21,28,36Square = 1,4,9,16,25,36
Which is greater 3ftx2ft rectangle or a triangle with base of 3 ft height 5 fft?
The formula for the area of a rectangle is length x width; the area of a triangle is half the product of the base and the height. Thus, the rectangle has an area of 3 x 2 = 6, while the triangle has an area of (3 x 5) / 2 = 7.5. 7.5 is greater than 6, so the triangle is larger.
The length of a rectangle is 1cm longer than its width If the diagonal of the rectangle is 5cm what are the dimensions of the rectangle in centimeters?
Half a rectangle is a right angled triangle. Pythagoras : Triangle whose hypotenuse is 5 and one side is 1 unit greater than the third must be a 3-4-5 triangle, so the rectangle is 3 cm x 4 cm
What is the name of the triangle that is greater than 90 degrees?
A triangle that has an angle greater than 90o is an obtuse triangle.
Will a rectangle with a greater perimeter also have a greater areea?
Yes.
Can a rectangle have a greater perimeter and also have a greater area?
Of course, a rectangle can have a greater perimeter and a greater area. Simply double all the sides: the perimeter is doubled and the area is quadrupled - both bigger than they were.
What is the minimum perimeter of the rectangle?
The way the rectangle is usually defined, a rectangle has to be positive, so any number greater than zero will do. Note that the set of numbers greater than zero has no minimum.
Can a rectangle have a greater perimeter than another one but have a greater area too?
yes it can; a rectangle 5 by 2 has perimeter 14 and area 10 for example; a rectangle 10 by 2 has perimeter 24 and area 20, both greater.
Make strong structure?
Triangle based bases use X's in support walls, they provide a better center and flow of gravity Have a greater mass at the bottom of a structure than at a higher point Use arks to support outstanding walls or floors in an structure
What fraction of the perimeter of the rectangle is length of the rectangle?
Conventionally, any fraction greater than a quarter.
Same perimeter different area?
Circle, square, triangle and rectangle of same perimeter. Which will have more area?? The circle will have the greatest area. For regular polygons, the greater the number of vertices, the greater the area. (And so, in the limit, the circle, with an infinite number of vetices, has the greatest area.)
What triangle has an angle greater than 180 degrees?
An obtuse triangle.
A parallelogram and a triangle are shown. Which statement is true?
the triangle has the greater perimeter
