How would you find the length of one side of a square if the area is sixteen square units?
All sides of a square are equal. To find the area if a square we multiply two sides together. 4 x 4 =16 so the length of each side is 4
How many square feet in an octagon if all sides are 8 feet in length?
To find how many square feet are in an octagon you basicly just have to find the area of the octagon in this problem it would be 8x8 to get the answer how to find the answer is that you must first find out how many sides your shape has then multiply your sides length in this case it happens to be 8 for both of the multiples thus 8x8 equals 64.
How do you do perimeter and area of rectangles?
A rectangle has four sides joined by right angles between adjacent sides. There are two pairs of two equal sides, having lengths A and B. To find the perimeter you add up all the sides, A + A + B + B. This may also be written as 2 x A + 2 X B or 2A +2B or 2 (A+B). To find the area, you multiply A x B. If A = B then you have a square with perimeter 4 x A and area A2
What is the difference between the perimeter and the area of a shape?
The perimeter of a shape is the distance around the outside, for instance, the length of all the sides of a square added together. The area however, is the amount of space within the shape, for example, to find the area of a square, you would simply multiply the length of the side by length of the side.
How do you find the perimeter of a regular pentagon if you know the length of one side?
Multiply the known length by 5, because the sides are all the same length on a regular pentagon and a pentagon has 5 sides.
Why do you find the area of all the sides then multiply it by two to find surface area?
because you do
Do you multiply all the sides in area?
no add the sides of the area
What are the formulas for area and perimeter?
to find the perimeter you must add all sides. and to find area you have to multiply lenght and width
What is the area of a square if one side is two and a half feet?
definition of a square: all sides are congruent (equal) Therefore, all sides are 2.5 feet. To find area, you multiply length by width....so multiply 2.5x2.5
How do you find the perimeter and area and formula on a rectangle?
for area you multiply length times width and for perimeter you add all of the sides together
How do find area of triangle?
1/2bh b=base h=height To find the are of a triangle,you have to multiply the base times height and divide the answer by 2. To find the area of a triangle you need to multiply all the sides of the triangle and then divide by 2.
Do you add or multiply for area?
You have to multiply to find area you have to add to find perimiter
How do you find perimeter and area of triangles?
Perimeter . . . add up the lengths of all three sides. Area . . . multiply (half the length of the base) by (the height).
What is the different between the perimeter and the area of a polygon?
Area you multiply 2 sides and perimeter you add all the sides together.
Do you times all the sides in area?
If you are calculating the area of a rectangle, it is length times width. You are not multiplying all the sides, because there are four sides. You only need to multiply two of them.
How do you find the total surface rea of a trianguar pyramid?
Find the area of one of the sides and then multiply it by 3 (3 sides to a triangular pyramid)Then work out the area of the base of the pyramid, and add it to the total area of all the sides.Area of a triangle = Base x Height / 2
How would you find the length of one side of a square if the area is sixteen square units?
