If the only information that you have is ... A) the figure is a rectangle, and B) the perimeter ... then you cannot calculate the area. The area of a rectangle is the length multiplied by the height., The perimeter is twice the length plus twice the height. So, a rectangle with a length of 9 units and a height of 1 unit will have a perimeter of 20 units and an area of 9 square units. Another rectangle with a length of 6 units and a height of 4 units will also have a perimeter of 20 units, but it will have an area of 24 square units. To be able to calculate the area from the perimeter you need to know one of two additional things - either one of the measurements, or the ratio of the height to the length.

To summarise, you can, IF you know the ratio as mentioned. Then apply that to half the perimeter to find the length and breadth.

What is the relationship for perimeter and area for rectangle?
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.
He length of a rectangle is three times its width. If the area of the rectangle is 192 m2 find its perimeter.?
64 meters
What is the perimeter of a 10cm square?
What is a rectangle were the area is 10 and the perimeter
How you find the area of a rectangle from the perimeter and base length?
perimeter (P)=2(length+base) find length, area = length * base = (p/2-base)*base
In general describe the rectangle that has the least area for a fixed perimeter?
For a fixed perimeter, the area will always be the same, regardless of how you describe the rectangle.
