A rectangle has a perimeter of 10 ft Write the area A of the rectangle as a function of the length of one side x of the rectangle?
This question has no unique answer. A (3 x 2) rectangle has a perimeter = 10, its area = 6 A (4 x 1) rectangle also has a perimeter = 10, but its area = 4 A (4.5 x 0.5) rectangle also has a perimeter = 10, but its area = 2.25. The greatest possible area for a rectangle with perimeter=10 occurs if the rectangle is a square, with all sides = 2.5. Then the area = 6.25. You can keep the same perimeter = 10 and make the area anything you want between zero and 6.25, by picking different lengths and widths, just as long as (length+width)=5.
What is the area of a 5cm long and 2cm wide rectangle?
It is: 5*2 = 10 square cm
What is the perimeter of a rectangle with an area of 250 square feet and length of 25 feet?
For a start at this question, find out how wide this rectangle must be. area (250) = length (25) x width (???) The area of a rectangle is its length times its width. We should divide the area by the length (25) to get the width. The answer is 10. Then we know that each long side is 25 and each short side is 10. We know that in a rectangle, the long sides are the same length and the short sides are the same width. In order to get the perimeter, we add 25 and 25 and 10 and 10. We get 70. So the perimeter is 70.
A rectangle has a width of 10 inches and an area of 5 square inches what is the length of the rectangle?
10 inches
A rectangle and a triangle have equal areas?
it is possible, if the triangle is bigger than the rectangle, for example the rectangle has a base of 5 and height of 2-- so the area is 10; and then the triangle has a base of 5 and a height of 4-- the area is also 10.
