It depends on the shape, but I'm assuming you mean a square or rectangle. If it is not this shape, edit the question.
In this equation L=Length W=Width
So, to get the perimeter, you would use this equation: 2L+2W= Perimeter

When given the perimeter how do you find the length and width?
Assuming you mean a rectangle: use the formula:p = 2(l+w) (i.e., perimeter equals twice length plus width). In this formula, replace p with the known perimeter, and l with the given length, then solve for width.
How do you find the perimeter of the base of a rectangular prism?
Perimeter = 2 x (length+width). You add the length to the width and multiply the sum by two.
How does the length and width of a rectangle relate to the perimeter?
If you add the length and width together, it will always be half of the perimeter. In terms of an equation, it would look like so: Perimeter = (2 x Length) + (2 x Width)
What does the perimeter is the length plus width times two mean?
This is a simple description of finding the perimeter of a square or rectangle. It has 2 values to be added for length, and 2 to be added for width, the total sum equals the perimeter. If you add length and width and then multiply by 2 you can most likely arrive at the proper answer faster than adding the 4 values.
How do you find length of a rectangle with perimeter and width?
you multiply 2 times the width and 2 times the length ad then add them together. the equation would be 2l+2w=perimeter
How do you find the area and perimeter of a rectangle?
Perimeter: Add the length of the four sides. Area: Multiply length x width.
How do you get a perimeter of a rectangle?
Add up (double the length) plus (double the width).
How do i find the perimeter of a rectangle if you know its length and its width?
Add up (two lengths) plus (two widths) and you have the perimeter.
When given the perimeter how do you find the length and width?
Assuming you mean a rectangle: use the formula:p = 2(l+w) (i.e., perimeter equals twice length plus width). In this formula, replace p with the known perimeter, and l with the given length, then solve for width.
Do you times the length and width or plus it?
to find the area of a rectange you times, to find the perimeter, you add them then times by 2
How do find the width?
Perimeter = Width x 2 + length x 2. To find width, you minus the length from perimeter because opposite of ADD is SUBTRACT.
How do you find the perimeter of the base of a rectangular prism?
Perimeter = 2 x (length+width). You add the length to the width and multiply the sum by two.

A shape with a perimeter of 13cm?
You add up the length and the width :)
Is length times width the answer to perimeter?
No. (a) it is perimeter, not perimeder (b) it is length, not lenght. Length times Width is area (for a rectangle). Perimeter is the sum of all the sides, so 2*(Length + Width)
when you are trying to find the area or perimeter of something do you multipli?
Nearly always multiply. However, for the perimeter of a rectangle, you add the length + width + length + width. This is even simplified by multiplying the length and the width by 2
