What has the greater perimeter a square with side eight units or rectangle with length 14 units and width two units?
They will be both the same because the perimeter of the square is 32 units and the perimeter of the rectangle is also 32 units
What are the two numbers that can be both the perimeter and the area of the same rectangle?
Area and perimeterA square is a special form of rectangle having four equal sides. If each side of the square measures four units, then the perimeter is 16 units and the area is 16 square units. Note that the magnitude -- 16 -- is the same but the units are different. The above can be shown algebraically.If P = 4s and A = s2, then setting P = A yields4s = s24 = s.Their is one other solution when the rectangle is not a square. If two sides are 6 and two sides are 3, the area and the perimeter are the same as well.2(6) + 2(3) = P12 + 6 = P18 = P3 * 6 = A18 = AP = A
What is the formula to solve for the area of a rectangle?
Make sure you know the length and width of the rectangle in the SAME UNITS ... both in inches, or both in meters etc. Then just multiply the two numbers ... Length x Width. The answer is the area of the rectangle.
How do you calculate the area of a rectangle in metric units?
The area of a rectangle is (length) multiplied by (width). The units don't matter. Just make sure that 'length' and 'width' are both measured in the same unit, whatever the unit is.
How do you draw a triangle with an area of 8 square units?
Right triange with both sides around the 90 degrees = 4 with a right trianle the area = 1/2 * height * width (think of it as half a rectangle)
