For rectangles, there are only two side lengths and the perimeter is obviously
P = 2 (L + W). For squares, P = 4S.
If you know the diagonal length of a rectangle, you only need one side to find the other side length using the Pythagorean theorem (d squared = side a squared + side b squared).
If it is a square, knowing the diagonal gives you the perimeter: it is 4 times the square root of (d squared divided by 2).
In other more complex figures you will need to use more concepts like parallel lines, perpendicular lines, and other geometric theorems like the Pythagorean theorem.

What is the perimeter of the garden if the area is 12.25 square meters?
Ah, what a lovely garden you have! To find the perimeter, we need to know the dimensions of the garden. If it's a square garden, we can find the side length by taking the square root of the area. Then, we can multiply the side length by 4 to get the perimeter. Happy painting those beautiful flowers and trees in your garden!
What is the perimeter of a regular hexagon with side lengths each?
Side length x 6 = perimeter
How do you find the perimeter and the area of a square?
The perimeter is found by adding the length of each side. The area is found by multiplying the length of the square by the width.
How do you find the length of a triangle when perimeter is given?
If the triangle is equilateral, you simply divide the perimeter by three to find the length of each side. If the triangle is not equilateral, you will need more information to determine the length of each side.
The perimeter of a hexagon is 13.5 what is the length of each side?
2.25
