There are an infinite number of rectangles that will contain a given area.
length x width = area
One equation like this cannot be used to find twounknown quantities. You would have to be given more information: perhaps the perimeter or either the width or the length, or perhaps you have been told the ratio of length to width.
Alternatively, if you know that your rectangle is in fact a square, then its length and width equal the square root of the area.

How do you find the length and width and the area is given?
If the area is already given, there should also be either width or length given. Do the area, divided by the length or the width. For example, the area divided by the width equal the length. Hope it helps.
How do you find area when given perimeter and width?
If you are given the width and the perimeter, then figure out what the length is then calculate the area... hope this helps :)
How do you find the length of a rectangle given the width and area?
the area of a rectangle = length x widthwe can rearrange this to give uslength of a rectangle = area/ width
How do you find the length and width of a square if given the area?
i think you find the square root of the area. that's the length and the width, so you multiply it.
What is the length of a rectangle that has a width of 2.5cm and an area of 20.5cm2?
Given , area =A= 20.5cm2 = length*width, so (length)(2.5)=20.5 or length=20.5/2.5=8.2cm approx.....
How do you determine the length and width of a square when given the area?
Square root the area. The length and width of a square are always the same and length times width is the area so this is how you get the area.
How do you find the length if the width and area is given?
Area = (length) times (width)Length = (area) divided by (width)Width = (area) divided by (length)
How do you find the length and width and the area is given?
If the area is already given, there should also be either width or length given. Do the area, divided by the length or the width. For example, the area divided by the width equal the length. Hope it helps.
What is the area of a desk?
You need to know the length and width of the desk before you can determine the area. Multiply the length by the width to get your answer (length x width = area).
How do you find length if given the width of the area?
Area divided by width equals length
How do you find the length of a rectangle when the width and area are provided?
For a rectangle, area equals length times width. To find the length given the width and area, divide the area by the width.
How do you find the width of a rectangle if the area and length are given?
Divide area by length and that gives you width.
How do you find the length of an rectangle by given the area and width?
Divide the area by the width and it will give you the length.
How do you determine area?
length x width
How do you find area when length is given?
Find the width, and multiply the length and the width.
How do you find the perimeter of a rectangle with only the width or length and the area given?
It not possible you nit witt that is not true length x width = area If you know length and area, solve width width = area / length then 2 x length + 2 x width = perimeter
How do you find width of a rectangle when given area?
Divide the area by the length will give you the width
