if it is a square...divide by 4

If it is not a square you cannot find the length and width because it can be short and wide or tall and narrow.

If you know the perimeter and lenght of a rectangle and want to find its width do you divide the perimeter by the length?

No. If you draw a rectangle there are four sides, the length of two of those sides are equal to the length, and the other two are equal to the width. Therefore: the perimeter, which is equal to all the sides added up, is equal to two times the length plus two times the width: or 2L+2W= Perimeter. If you know L and you know the perimeter you can solve it algebraically. the width equals the perimeter minus two times the length, all that divided by two, or W= (P-2L)/2 (when you do the algebra). you might be thinking about the area in which case if you knew the area and the length and you want to find the width you would divide the area by the length.


What is the length and width for 72 perimeter?

We need to know the shape of the object.


What is the perimeter of 150 acres?

To find the perimeter of 150 acres, we need to know the shape of the land. Since acres measure area, we can't directly calculate the perimeter without additional information. If the land is a square, we would need to find the square root of 150 to determine the side length, then multiply by 4 to find the perimeter. If the land is a rectangle, we would need the length and width to calculate the perimeter using the formula 2(length + width).


What is the perimeter of a rectangle with an area of 250 square feet and length of 25 feet?

For a start at this question, find out how wide this rectangle must be. area (250) = length (25) x width (???) The area of a rectangle is its length times its width. We should divide the area by the length (25) to get the width. The answer is 10. Then we know that each long side is 25 and each short side is 10. We know that in a rectangle, the long sides are the same length and the short sides are the same width. In order to get the perimeter, we add 25 and 25 and 10 and 10. We get 70. So the perimeter is 70.


What is the perimeter of a rectangle that has an area of 432 feet?

Ah, what a lovely question! To find the perimeter of a rectangle, we need to know both the length and width. Since the area is 432 square feet, we can find the dimensions by factoring 432 into pairs of numbers until we find a pair that could be the length and width of the rectangle. Once we have the dimensions, we can simply add up all the sides to find the perimeter.

How do you find the width of a rectangle if you know the perimeter and the length?

Perimeter = 2 * width + 2 * length, so rearranging --> width = (Perimeter / 2) - length


How do you find the length and width if you know the perimeter?

Length + width = half of perimeter, so you need more information...


Can you find the perimeter and length if you know the area and width?

no


How do you find perimeter without knowing the length or the width?

If you do not know the length and width of ALL sides, then as far as I know it isn't possible to find the perimeter unless you measure each side and then find it.


How can you find the perimeter of a rectangle if you know its length and width?

The formula for perimeter is 2l+2w or 2*length + 2*width. This means that you multiply the length by two and multiply the width by two. Then, you add the two products together to find the perimeter.


How do you find the length and width of a rectangle if you only know the perimeter the perimeter is 26?

Its impossible to isolate both the length and width, but you can figure out the sum of one pair of length and width, which is 13.


How would you find the width if you only know the perimeter and length?

If it's a rectangle, just minus the length from the perimeter twice and than divide what you have by 2. Width = (Perimeter - (length*2))/2


How do you find the perimeter of a rectangle with only the width or length and the area given?

It not possible you nit witt that is not true length x width = area If you know length and area, solve width width = area / length then 2 x length + 2 x width = perimeter


How do you find the base of a rectangular prims if you know the length width and perimeter?

It isn't clear how you would define the "perimeter" for a 3D figure. The base is the product of length x width.


If you know the perimeter how do you find length?

To find the length given the perimeter of a rectangle, you would need the width as well. Since the perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of all its sides (2 lengths + 2 widths), you can rearrange the formula to solve for the length by subtracting twice the width from the perimeter and dividing the result by 2. Formula: Length = (Perimeter - 2*width) / 2.


The perimeter of a rectangle is 72m the width of the rectangle is 16m what is the area of the rectangle?

To find the area of a rectangle, you need to know the formula: Area = length x width. Given that the perimeter is 72m and the width is 16m, we can calculate the length by using the formula for perimeter of a rectangle: Perimeter = 2(length + width). Substituting the values we have, 72 = 2(length + 16), which simplifies to length + 16 = 36. Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 20m. Finally, the area of the rectangle is 20m x 16m = 320 square meters.


If you know a perimeter of a square but not the length or width how do you find the area?

Divide the perimeter by 4 and then square the result to find the area of the square.
