How do you find the length of a rectangle given the width and area?
the area of a rectangle = length x widthwe can rearrange this to give uslength of a rectangle = area/ width
The length of a rectangle is 12 inches. The width of the rectangle is 8 inches. find the perimeter of the rectangle?
The perimeter of a rectangle = 2 x (length + width) = 2 x (12 + 8) = 2 x 20 = 40 inches
The length of a rectangle is 2 inches more than its width the area of the rectangle is 15 square inches what are the length and width of the rectangle?
Call the width of the rectangle x. Call the length of the rectangle x + 2. The area of the rectangle would be the length times the width. We know this is 15 square inches. Set up the equation and solve for x. (x +2)x = 15 x2 + 2x = 15 x2 + 2x - 15 = 0 Factor the quadratic equation: (x - 3)(x + 5) = 0 x = 3 or x = -5 Since length can't be negative, discard the answer -5. If x = 3, then the width is 3 and the length is x + 2 or 5. 5 x 3 = 15 which equals the area.
How do you figure out the area of a rectangle?
Area = length x width
The length of a rectangle is 4cm longer than the width If the perimeter of the rectangle is 20 centimeters what is the area of the rectangle?
The perimeter of a rectangle is 2length +2 width. the width is x the length is x+4. Plug into the equation 2(x)+2 (x+4)=20 2x+2x+8=20 4x=12 x=3 The width is 3 the length is 7 (3+4) Area is length times width. 3(7)= 21. the area is 21 centimeters
