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 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.
If you know the perimeter of a rectangle but don't know the length of the sides can you find the area?
no
If you know the perimeter how do you find the area?
Perimeter equals to 2 times the length plus 2 times the breadth. Area equals to length multiply by breadth
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 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.
How do you find the area and the width when you know the perimeter and the length?
Divide the perimeter by 2 and subtract the length to get the width. Multiply the length by the width to get the area. P=2L+2W P-2L=2W (P/2)-L=W A=LW
How do you find the area of a yard using the perimeter in square feet?
You can't only using the perimeter. You have to know length and width.
