No, length times width is not the same as base times height. In geometry, length times width typically refers to the area of a two-dimensional shape, such as a rectangle. On the other hand, base times height is commonly used to find the area of a triangle or a parallelogram. The formulas for calculating area differ depending on the shape being measured.

yes because the height is how tall the object is, and the base is how wide the object is, so therefor, base x height is the same thing as length x width.

If the base of the triangle is 6m and the height is 4m what is length times width?

6*4/2


How do you find height using length and width?

There is no sure way to find the height of a rectangular prism with just the length and width. You need some other defined variable like the area. The height can range from 1 to infinity and never affect the base, length, and width.


How do you get the volume of a cylinder using the circumference and height?

Base x Height.... The base of a cylinder is a circle. So you first find the area of the circle. pi times the radius squared. (for example, with a cylinder with a radius of 2in and a height of 3in, the area of the base would be about 2 x 2 x 3.14 = 12.56 Then you multiply the area of the base with the height. So going with our example, 12.56 x 3 = 37.68 inches. Think about it this way: The volume of a rectangular prism is length x width x height. The base of a rectangular prism is a rectangle , and to find the area of that is length x width. So it's the area of the base (which is length x width) x the height.


What is the formula for volume?

There is a different formula for every regular shape There is no formula for the irregular, odd-ball shapes.Examples of equations for more common shapes are:For cubes and similar shapes: HxLxW = volume (Volume = height x length x width)For cylinders: V= πr2L (pi x radius squared x height)For spheres: V= 4/3 π r3For pyramids: Area of Base x 1/3 heightRectangular prisms: Area of Base x heightIt depends on the product of the measurements of the height, width, and length of the shape. (lenght times width times height)Base x height x width = volume (which is cubed [ex:23cm3])Height times length times width is the formula for an object such as a box with rectangular sides,However, there are different formulas for differently shaped objects, such as spheres, cylinders, cones, cubes, etc. You need to specify the object whose volume you are trying to calculate.length X width X heightl x w x h


What is the volume for base area 56 inches squared height 6 in?

Volume = (length x width) x (height) = (base area) x (height) = (56 x 6) = 336 cubic inches
