Let the length of other side be L,
Then,
2L+ 2(W/2) = 6W
L= 5W/2
Area = 5W/2 * W/2
=(5W^2)/4

The width of a rectangle is one half its length The perimeter of the rectangle is 54cm What are the width and length of the rectangle?
The length of the rectangle is 18cm. The width of the rectangle is 9cm.
How do you find the semiperimeter of a rectangle?
The perimeter of a rectangle is total length of all 4 sides = 2 x length + 2 x width. The semiperimeter is therefore half this amount = length + width.
What is the perimeter of a half acre?
Half an acre = 21780 sq feet.This could have a perimeter of any length greater than (or equal to) 523.16 feet.If the area is in the form of a circle of radius 83.26 feet, it will have the minimum perimeter of 523.16 feet.Or, you can have a square of 147.6 ft giving a perimeter of 590.3 ft,or a rectangle of 150 ft * 145.2 ft - perimeter = 590.4 ftor a rectangle of 100 ft * 217.8 ft - perimeter = 635.6 ftor a rectangle of 10 ft * 2178 ft - perimeter = 4376 ftor a rectangle of 1 ft * 21780 ft - perimeter of = 43562 ftetc, with the perimeter increasing without limit.Or, the area could be circular giving the minim590 feet.
The perimeter of a rectangle is 232 inches The length exceeds it by 68 inches Find the length and width?
Do-it-in-your-head method: 1. Length + width is half the perimeter ie 116 in 2. 116 minus 68 is 48, half of 48 is 24 which is the width, making the length 92 in
How do you find the the area of the rectangle if perimeter is given?
To find the area of a rectangle, when you only know the perimeter, you can just just break the sides down into two pairs of lengths. For example; if the known perimeter is 100, you can call the two short sides, we'll call those the width, 10 (x2=20) and the two long sides, we'll call those length, 40 (x2=80) 20+80=100... Now you know all the lengths of the sides, so the area formula is L x W = area or 10 x 40 = 400. Any rectangle with a perimeter of 100 will have an area of 400, no matter what the lengths are and the process works for any rectangle, you just have to break the perimeter length down into two pairs of lengths.+++That starts off right but is NOT the full method.'You need to know the ratio between its length and breadth. Then apply that ratio to half of the perimeter to find the length and breadth.'Try it:L = 4, B= 6 so P = 20 but Area = 4 X 6 = 24 square units.L = 2, B = 8 so P = 20 again BUT Area now = 2 X 8 = 16 sq. units.For any given rectangle perimeter, there is an infinite number of possible areas.For a quadrilateral, Perimeter-only works only for the Square, for which A = [P/4]^2 = [(P^2)/16]
The width of a rectangle is one half its length The perimeter of the rectangle is 54cm What are the width and length of the rectangle?
The length of the rectangle is 18cm. The width of the rectangle is 9cm.
How do you find the dimensions of a rectangle given only the total perimeter?
Length + width = half the perimeter, but more info eg area, is needed.
The width of a rectangle is one half its length the perimeter of the rectangle is 54 cm what are the width and length of the rectangle?
width=9 length=18
How do you find the area from the perimeter of a rectangle?
If the only information that you have is ... A) the figure is a rectangle, and B) the perimeter ... then you cannot calculate the area. The area of a rectangle is the length multiplied by the height., The perimeter is twice the length plus twice the height. So, a rectangle with a length of 9 units and a height of 1 unit will have a perimeter of 20 units and an area of 9 square units. Another rectangle with a length of 6 units and a height of 4 units will also have a perimeter of 20 units, but it will have an area of 24 square units. To be able to calculate the area from the perimeter you need to know one of two additional things - either one of the measurements, or the ratio of the height to the length.+++To summarise, you can, IF you know the ratio as mentioned. Then apply that to half the perimeter to find the length and breadth.
The width of a rectangle is one half its length The perimeter of the rectangle is 54cm What re the width and length of the rectangle?
edit: just check answer, answer was wrong
If the height of a rectangle is eight and three fourths the perimeter is thirty eight and a half what is the area?
The perimeter of that rectangle is 89.6875.
The length of a rectangle is 4cm longer than its width If the perimeter of the rectangle is 36cm find its area?
Length + width = half of perimeter, ie 18 cm. 18 - 4 = 14, 14/2 = 7 so sides are 7 and 11 cm and area = 77sq cm
How do you find the length of a rectangle if the perimeter is 40 and the width is 2inches?
perimeter = 2 x (length + width) ⇒ length + width = perimeter ÷ 2 ⇒ length = (perimeter ÷ 2) - width So to find the length of the given rectangle, subtract the width from half the perimeter is how to do it. IF you meant "What is the length..." then: length = perimeter ÷ 2 - width = 40 ÷ 2 - 2 in = 20 - 2 in = 18 in
The perimeter of a rectangle is 200 inches the length exceeds the width by 96 inches?
Length + width = half perimeter = 100". Length is 98", width is 2"
The perimeter of a rectangle is 24 inches. And its length is 3 times its width. What are the length and the width of the rectangle?
perimeter 24 so length + width half of that ie 12. Length 3 times width must be 9 and width 3.
Why is the area of the triangle half the base times the height?
Because a triangle is half of a rectangle. The area of a rectangle is length times width, the area of a triangle is half that.
How do you find the area if perimeter is given?
If the area is a square, 1/4 of the perimeter is the length of one side. That length squared is the area. The area will be the product of two numbers whose sum is half the perimeter.
