What is the shape whose perimeter has infinite length?
A variety of such shapes can be constructed; a well-known example is the Koch snowflake. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koch_snowflake
If the perimeter is a cm what is the side length?
Depends upon the shape.
A shape with a perimeter of 13cm?
You add up the length and the width :)
How do you determine length and width if given the area?
What geometric shape?Since you failed to mention the shape of the area, we will have to assume it's a rectangle of some sort. (Note that a square is a special case of rectangle.) There are an infinite number of rectangles that will contain a given area.length x width = areaOne 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.
Do you add or multiply to find the perimeter?
The perimeter is the length around something, add all sides together to get the length of the perimeter.
