Do you add or multiply length and width?
If you want to find the area of a rectangle (inclusively a square), rhombus, or parallelogram, you multiply.
What does 3 more than twice its width?
Badly expressed! Do you mean "what is the area of a rectangle with a length that is 3 more than twice its width?" ? If you have a width, then presumably you have a length, in which case you presumably have a rectangle. But what do we want to know about this rectangle? You haven't said. Its area? Its perimeter? Its color? Its shoe size?
How do you calculate area in ArcMap in km?
Open the attribute table of the polygon shapefile you want to calculate. Add a field called Area, double type. Right click on the field heading in the attribute table and choose calculate geometry. Area should be the default, you will have to choose sq\km from the dropdown. Click OK. The double type will give you plenty of accuracy (decimal places).
How do you prove the formula for the area of a triangle?
Easiest wayDraw a three inch by three inch square. add lines at one inch marks to form a small grid. draw line diagonally across to form two triangles. count the number of squares in one triangle (remember the squares with the diagonal line are only half a square)Did you get 4 1/2?A X B divided by two 3 X 3= 9 / 2 = 4.5To arrive to the forumla for area of triangle, lets look at the area of square and rectanlge first: Area of square: side x side Area of rectangle: length x width Notice that the formulas for area of square and rectangle is very similar. The squre is a special case only, so there is not much difference. Let's take the special case first- area of square: Area= side x side If I want to find the area of a triangle from this square, you have to divide the square in half diagonally. This means: (side x side)/2 = area of triangle Let's take a look at retangle now: Area of rectangle: length x width Similarly like the square, you divide the rectangle diagonally by half. This means: (length x width)/2 Conclusion: Thus, area of triangle= (base x height)/2 The base can be considered as one of the sides of the rectangle/square, and the height can be considered as the other side of the rectangle/square. THE FORMULA OF TRIANGLE COMES FROM HALF THE AREA OF RECTANGLE/SQUARE! Visit quickanswerz.com for more math help and tutoring!Area is measured in square units. If we are given a region we divide the region into unit squares.Then we count the number squares, which is the area of the region.Consider a rectangle of length 10 units and width 5 units.The area of the rectangle is 50 square units.It is because we can divide the rectangle into 10 equal parts along the length.Similarly, we can divide the rectangle into 5 equal parts along the width. Now we have divided the entire rectangle into unit squares.If we count the number of squares we get 50 unit squares.We get this by multiplying the length and the width. Area = Length*Width square units.This is the same for a parallelogram too.Area of a parallelogram is base * height square unitsThis is how the concept of area has come.We can find the area of the triangle also.A rectangle or a parallelogram can be divided into two equal triangles by a diagonal.Half of the area of the rectangle(or parallelogram) gives the area of the triangle.In fact, we can extend any triangle into an parallelogram.So, we get the formula, area of a triangle = (base* height)/2 square units.Source: www.icoachmath.com
Property tax on a two story house?
You should contact your local taxing authority to get the correct information that you want for your district or area that the two story house is located in.
Is it possible for a rectangle to have an area of 48 and a perimeter of 28?
You might want to investigate the rectangle that measures [ 6 by 8 ].
Can the perimeter of area of a rectangle ever be an irrational number?
Yes, of course. Why ever not ? You can make your rectangle any size you want.
How is a triangle and rectangle alike?
They are both polygon. If you cut a rectangle diagonally, you will have two triangles. And if you want to figure out the area of a right triangle, you can treat it as a rectangle and then cut your calculation in half to get the correct answer.
What do you do to the length and width of a rectangle if you want the perimeter to be the same as another rectangle but have a larger area?
YOu add a # to the width and then you subtract the same # from the length! If you want to go all the way and make the area as big as possible, then you want to make the length and width both 1/4 of the perimeter.
A rectangle has a perimeter of 10 ft Write the area A of the rectangle as a function of the length of one side x of the rectangle?
This question has no unique answer. A (3 x 2) rectangle has a perimeter = 10, its area = 6 A (4 x 1) rectangle also has a perimeter = 10, but its area = 4 A (4.5 x 0.5) rectangle also has a perimeter = 10, but its area = 2.25. The greatest possible area for a rectangle with perimeter=10 occurs if the rectangle is a square, with all sides = 2.5. Then the area = 6.25. You can keep the same perimeter = 10 and make the area anything you want between zero and 6.25, by picking different lengths and widths, just as long as (length+width)=5.
How do you find the area of rectangle using function?
The area is the length times the width. That's the function. If you want to write a function in a computer language, you need two parameters. Just return the product of the two parameters. Example in Java: double rectangle_area(double length, double width) { return length * width; } I didn't test this, but that's the basic idea.
If you have 400ft of fencing and you want the fencing to be a rectangle area what dimensions in order to enclose the maximum possible area?
100 x 100
Do you add or multiply length and width?
If you want to find the area of a rectangle (inclusively a square), rhombus, or parallelogram, you multiply.
What is A rectangle with the length of 7 yards and a width of 8 yards?
Its area is: 7 times 8 = 56 square yards Its perimeter is: 7+8+7+8 = 30 yards
Does the diagonal of a rectangle have to be perpendicular?
yes if you want it to be a rectangle
What is formula of a rectangle based pyramid?
The answer depends on the what characteristic of the pyramid you want the formula for: its surface area, its volume or something else.
How many feet long and how many feet wide is one acre?
There's no definite answer. An acre is a unit of area. It can be any shape, just as long asthe area is 43,560 square feet.Even if it's definitely a rectangle, there are an infinite number of different rectangles that all have the same area.(For example, a [12 x 2] rectangle, a [8 x 3] rectangle, and a [6 x 4] rectangle, all have the same area.)If you want a square that encloses one acre of area, then each side of the square has to be about 208 feet.If you want a circle that encloses one acre, then the diameter of the circle has to be about 235 feet.
