What is the formula for the perimeter of a square and rectangle?

The perimeter of any rectangle is [ 2 x (length + width) ]. Since the length and width of a square are equal, the perimeter of a square is also [ 2 x (side + side) ] = (4 x side).


How do you find the perimeter of a rectangle when only the area is given?

You cannot find the perimeter unless the rectangle is a regular rectangle (a square) in which case the perimeter is 4 times the square root of the area. With just the area the shape of the rectangle could be any number of shapes with different perimeter, for example, imagine 6 square units 1cm by 1cm arranged in a 1*6 configuration to give a long thin rectangle, the perimeter would be 6+6+1+1=14cm, the same 6 arranged in a 3*2 rectangle would have the same area, but a perimeter of 3+3+2+2=10cm, for this reason a rectangle's perimeter cannot be determined from the area alone.
