What is the perimeter of 8276.4 square feet?

There is not a single perimeter associated to a given area. You can have different perimeters, depending on the shape.


What is the perimeter of 55 meter square?

The area doesn't tell you the dimensions or the perimeter. It doesn't even tell you the shape. The shortest perimeter that could enclose that area would be a circle. The shortest perimeter with straight sides would be a square. If it's a rectangle, then there are an infinite number of them, all with different dimensions and different perimeters, that all have the same area.


How do you find the area of parallelograms?

Base times height


Can different rectangles have the same area and perimeter?

It's very easy for two rectangles to have the same area and different perimeters,or the same perimeter and different areas. In either case, it would be obvious toyou when you see them that there's something different about them, and theywould not fit one on top of the other.But if two rectangles have the same area and the same perimeter, then to look at themyou'd swear that they're the same rectangle, and one could be laid down on the otherand fit exactly.


Can two parallelograms with different shapes have the same area?

Sure. The area of a parallelogram is (length of base) times (vertical height). Many pairs of numbers can have the same product, but if the (base / height) of two parallelograms are different pairs of numbers, then their shapes are different. Example: A rectangle is a parallelogram that's easy to work with. Take two rectangles: Rectangle #1: Length=6, Width=5, Area=30 Rectangle #2: Length=15, Width=2, Area=30 These rectangles certainly have different shapes. In #1, the length is 83% of the width, and in #2, the length is only 13% of the width. But they both have the same area.

Anything larger than 4*sqrt(15) or 15.49 units.


How shapes have the same area but different perimeter?

Because the area is different than the perimeters


Can shapes of the same area have different perimeters?

Why can you have a shape with different perimeters but the same area?

they are different because perimeter is the out side of the shape and area is inside of the shape.


What is the perimeter of a rectangle whose area is 21?

That depends on the rectangle! You can have different rectangles with the same area, but with different perimeters.


What shapes have the same perimeter but different areas?

Most shapes can have the same area and different perimeters. For example the right size square and circle will have the same are but they will have different perimeters. You can draw an infinite number of triangles with the same area but different perimeters. This is before we think about all the other shapes out there.


Is it true that the greater the perimeter the greater the area?

No, in general that is not true. For two similar figures it is true. But you can easily design two different figures that have the same perimeters and different areas, or the same area and different perimeters. For example, two rectangles with a different length-to-width ratio.


If the area of the rectangle is 320cm squared find its perimeter?

Not enough data. Different rectangles (different length:width ratios) can have the same area, but different perimeters.


What is the perimeter in meters of a 28 acre field?

The perimeter for a certain area varies, depending on the figure. For example, a circle, different ellipses, a square, different rectangles, and different shapes of triangles, all have different perimeters or circumferences, for the same area.The perimeter for a certain area varies, depending on the figure.
