It depends what shape the figure is ! If it's a square or rectangle - you would need one more piece of information (the length of one side).

How do you find the distance around a figure?

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).


What is the largest area that you can have if the perimeter is 24 feet?

You get the largest area with a circle. Divide the perimeter by (2 x pi), then calculate the area with the formula pi x radius2.You get the largest area with a circle.

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 an area from perimeter?

Depends on what figure you are working on, each figure has its own formula for the area. So you need to do a sketch and label the relevant quantities which are needed to find the area. By using the perimeter value, find a formula for one quantity in terms of the other(s). Write the area as a function of just one variable. Find the domain of that variable. After that, use the derivative to find the desired global maximum or minimum (the highest or lowest points on the curve), which will give you the maximum or the minimum area of the figure you are interested in. If you have a specific problem, I can help more.


Can you find the perimeter with only the area?

No, you also need some details about the specific figure you are working with.

Rules of parameterarea in math for 7th class?

Do you mean "perimeter" and "Area"? If so, if you are finding the perimeter of a figure, you take the lengths of all of the sides and add them up. If you are finding area, the method of which you find the area of the figure depends on what the figure is. For quadrilaterals, the formula is: A=lw.(Area=length times width) For triangles, the formula is: A=1/2lw. (Area=One half length times width)
