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.....
