What is the perimeter of a rectangle if the area is 360 square centimeters?

Anything from almost 75,9 (if the rectangle were a square with each side 18,97 cm) to much larger, 722 if the rectangle is 1 cm by 360 cm or if the rectangle were 0,5 by 720 cm - still an area of 360 cm2! - the perimeter would be 1441cmGreater than 4 * sqrt 360

What is the area of a rectangle that is a perimeter of 30?

It can be 56.25 or anything less, but not more. You can't tell the area from the perimeter, and you can't tell the perimeter from the area. -- if each side is 7.5, the perimeter is 30, and the area is 56.25 -- if it's (5 by 10), the perimeter is still 30, and the area is 50 -- if it's (4 by 11), the perimeter is still 30, and the area is 44 -- if it's (3 by 12), the perimeter is still 30, and the area is 36 -- if it's (2 by 13), the perimeter is still 30, and the area is 26 -- if it's (1 by 14), the perimeter is still 30, and the area is 14


What is the length and width of a rectangle with an area of 175 meters?

You can't tell the rectangle's dimensions if you only know its area. There are an infinite number of rectangles, with different dimensions, that all have the same area. Here are some possibilities: 1 x 175 4 x 43.75 5 x 35 7 x 25 10 x 17.5 15 x 11-2/3 20 x 8.75 Each of these has an area of 175. There are still an infinite number more.


If two rectangles have the same area do they also have to have the same perimeter?

Not necessarily. Let's say that there is a circle with the area of 10. Now there is a star with the area of 10. They do not have the same perimeter, do they? That still applies with rectangles. There might be a very long skinny rectangle and a square next to each other with the same area, but that does not mean that they have the same perimeter. Now if the rectangles are congruent then yes.

What is the perimeter of a rectangle has an area of 5cm square?

The perimeter of a rectangle cannot be determined with the area alone as the lengths could vary. For example, the perimeter of the rectangle could be 12 (1 and 5) or 9 (2 and 2.5). For both cases, the area is still 5cm2, but the length can still change to result in different results.

How do you find the area of a cylander?

-- Slice it down one side and flatten it out. -- Now you have a rectangle. You only have to find the area of a rectangle. -- The area of a rectangle is (length) times (width). -- The length of the rectangle used to be the length of the cylinder. -- The width of the rectangle used to be the circumference of the cylinder's round ends, while it was still rolled up.


Is a quadrilateral with one right angle necessarily a rectangle?

A quadrilateral can have two right angles and still not be a rectangle, if one side is oblique (neither right nor parallel) to the others, but three right angles force the fourth, and you have a rectangle.


Why is every square also a rectangle?

A rectangle has four sides, in two pairs of equal length, and four angles, all of which are right angles. A square satisfies all of these requirements so a square is a rectangle. In adition, the two pairs of sides of a square are of equal length as well. That makes the square a very special kind of rectangle, but it is still a rectangle.


What is a nonsquare rectangle?

a rectangle is a 4 sided polygon where all the angles are right angles and the opposite sides haveequal length. So a square is a rectangle. But take a rectangle that meets the definition I gave and make the 4 sides NOT the same length. Opposite sides are still the same, but all four sides are not the same so it is not a square. This is a non-square rectangle.


What is a rectangle in math?

A rectangle is a four-sided polygon. It has 4 right angles, and sides opposite each other are the same length. (all four sides can be the same length, in which case it is more commonly known as a square, but it is still a rectangle.


What is a four-sided figure with two pairs of pairs of parallel and equal sides and four right angles?
