True Or False Is The perimeter of a polygon is the number of square units contained in its interior?
The perimeter of a polygon is not generally equal to the number of square units contained in its interior, which is the definition of the area of the polygon, not of its perimeter. By coincidence, the area and perimeter of a square four units on each side have the same magnitude, 16, but the perimeter is 16 units and the area is 16 square units .
What is a formula to find the perimeter of a regular polygon?
The answer depends on what information you have about the regular polygon. You need to know, or be able to derive, the number of sides (n) and the length of each side (L). Then the perimeter is n*L units of length.
Find the dimensions of the rectangle with an area of 100 square units and whole-number side lengths that has the largest perimeter or the smallest perimeter?
Type your answer here... give the dimensions of the rectangle with an are of 100 square units and whole number side lengths that has the largest perimeter and the smallest perimeter
What are the dimensions of the rectangle with an area of 100 square units and whole-number side lengths that have the smallest perimeter?
It is 5 units * 20 units. A smaller perimeter can be attained by a square but the question specified a rectangle.
How do you find the permeter of a polygon?
The perimeter of a polygon is the sum of the length of each of its sides. If the polygon is a regular polygon the you can calculate the perimeter as [number of sides] *[the length of one side]
