For a side, one side is equal to the other side. If you don't know the other side, even if you know one side and the perimeter/area, you can calculate it algebraically. For example, if you want to find the perimeter of a rectange with one side who's length is 7. Because the other side's length is 7, you can add that to get 14. Then use the perimeter formula P=2L+2W to calculate it. Suppose the perimeter is 30. You can plug that into the formula as well as put in 14 for 2L or just put in 7 for L. Then subract 14 from both sides of the formula to get 16=2W. Then just divide by 2 to get W=8, which would be equal to the missing sides of the rectangle.

How do you measure the area of a rectangle missing a corner?
If you know the dimensions of the missing triangle, then compute the area from those dimensions, then subtract that answer from the area of the full rectangle.
The length of a rectangle is twice its width If the perimeter of the rectangle is 54y find its area?
The length of a rectangle is twice its width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is , find its area.
The length of a rectangle is 5 more then the width Find the perimeter and the area of the rectangle?
the length of a rectangle is 5 more then the width. Find the perimeter and the area of the rectangle
How do you find the square of a rectangle?
To find a Square in a rectangle first you have to:Make sure the rectangle is Flat.Draw a line straight and exactly in the middle.There you have your two squares in your Rectangle!So just cut a Rectangle in half!
How do uou find the length of a rectangle?
If you know the length of one side - and the area... divide the area by the known side - to get the value of the unknown.
