Formula for area is A = lw; Formula for perimeter is P = 2(l + w)
Half of the perimeter is 13. Hence, you need to find 2 numbers that when multiplied together = 36 and when added together = 13.
The numbers are 4 and 9.
Use the numbers to prove with the formulas:
A = lw
A = 4*9
A = 36
P = 2(l + w)
P = 2(4 + 9)
P = 2(13)
P = 26

Why can shapes with the same area have different perimeters?
Shapes with the same area can be different sizes. If you restrict yourself to integers, a rectangle with an area of 12 square inches can have the following dimensions: 1 x 12 (perimeter 26) 2 x 6 (perimeter 16) 3 x 4 (perimeter 14) The long skinny piece has most of its area near the edges. The one that's most like a square has most of its area in the center.
What is perimeter and area for 9 meters and 4 meters?
If it's a rectangle then:- Area = 9*4 = 36 square meters Perimeter = 9+4+9+4 = 26 meters
What is the largest and smallest perimeter possible for a rectangle with a area of 42?
Largest = 86, Smallest 26
Which has the larger perimeter a 16-foot by 26-foot rectangle or a 20 foot square?
Perimeter of [ 16 x 26 ] rectangle = 16 + 16 + 26 + 26 = 84-ft . Perimeter of a 20-ft square = 4 x 20 = 80-ft . The rectangle has the greater perimeter.
What is the area of a rectangle that its perimeter is 56 centimeters?
You can't tell. The perimeter doesn't tell you the area. There are an infinitenumber of different rectangles, with different dimensions and different areas,that all have perimeters of 56.The greatest area it can have is 196 cm2 ... if it's a square with 14-cm sides.If it's not a square, then it can have any area less than 196 cm2.Here are a few rectangles. They all have perimeters of 56:1 x 27, area = 272 x 26, area = 523 x 25, area = 754 x 24, area = 965 x 23, area = 11510 x 18, area = 18013 x 15, area = 195
What is the perimeter of 26 and 16?
If they are the dimensions of a rectangle then the perimeter is: 2*(26+16) = 84
What is the dimensions of a rectangle with a perimeter of 26 inches and a area of 42 square inches?
Its dimensions are 6 inches by 7 inches because 2(6+7)=26 inches and 6*7=42 square inches
What is the area and the perimeter 7cm by 6cm?
Area 42 cm2, perimeter 26 cm.
AREA 26 centimeters AREA 26 and A 26 all represent which?
The area of an object with a perimeter of 26 centimeters
Is it possible to get an area of 18 and the perimeter of 30?
Yes, but it would be very long and narrow. To get a perimeter of 30 you could have two sides that are 14 and two sides that are 1 which gives an area of 14. Conversely you could have an object with two sides that are 13 and two sides that are 2 which gives you an area of 26. Since 18 is between 14 and 26, there must be a shape between these two shapes that has area 18 and perimeter 30. You can find out exactly what those dimensions are by solving the two simultaneous equations for area and perimeter. area = width X height and perimeter = 2width + 2height knowing the area and perimeter, solve one equation for width or height and plug it into the other equation and solve.
What is the perimeter of an area 36cm sqared?
The area doesn't tell you the dimensions or the perimeter. It doesn't even tell you the shape. -- Your area of 36 cm2 could be a circle with a diameter of 6.77 . (Perimeter = 21.27.) -- It could be a square with sides of 6 . (Perimeter = 24.) -- It could be rectangles that measure 1 by 36 (Perimeter = 74) 2 by 18 (Perimeter = 40) 3 by 12 (Perimeter = 30) 4 by 9 (Perimeter = 26). There are an infinite number of more rectangles that it could be, all with the same area but different perimeters.
What is the perimeter of a rectangular polygon with dimensions of 13 yards by 15 yards?
To find the perimeter you have to 2 x L + 2 x W, 13 being you L and 15 your W. 13 x 2=26, 15 x 2=30. 30+26 is 56! Your answer would be 26.......
What could the perimeter of a rectangle be if the area is 22cm2?
26 cm
What are the dimensions of a rectangle with a perimeter of 52 feet?
You can't tell. The perimeter doesn't tell the dimensions. The only thing you know for sure is that the length and width have to add up to 26 feet, but there are an infinite number of different ways they can split it.
