There is no relationship between the perimeter and area of a rectangle. Knowing the perimeter, it's not possible to find the area. If you pick a number for the perimeter, there are an infinite number of rectangles with different areas that all have that perimeter. Knowing the area, it's not possible to find the perimeter. If you pick a number for the area, there are an infinite number of rectangles with different perimeters that all have that area.
Divide the perimeter by 4 and then square the result to find the area of the square.
If you are given the width and the perimeter, then figure out what the length is then calculate the area... hope this helps :)
perimeter (P)=2(length+base) find length, area = length * base = (p/2-base)*base
To find the distance around a figure, you calculate the perimeter. The perimeter is the total distance around the outside of a shape or figure. To find the perimeter of a rectangle or square, you add up all the sides. For a circle, you can find the perimeter by multiplying the diameter by π (pi).
