How do you find the perimeter of a triangle when you only know the length of 2 sides?
Not possible, you need at least the length of two sides and the included angle.
Can you find a perimeter of a regular polygon if you only know the meaurement of one side?
Only if you know what kind of polygon you have. If you know that you have a hexagon and one side is 1 cm, the perimeter is 6 cm. You only have to know the length of one side, since a regular polygon has equal sides. Perimeter or a regular polygon is the length of each side times the number of sides. You need to know both pieces to find the perimeter. ■
How do you find length and width using only the perimeter?
More information is needed. One of the sides or the diagonal length has to be known, unless you have a square, in which case you divide the perimeter by 4.
How do you find the area of a square with only the perimeter?
its easy really!! All you have to do is divide the perimeter by 4 (because a square has four sides!) once you got that answer you then times that by its self and you have the area!! :)
How do you find the area if the perimeter is only given?
If you are talking about a rectangle, you can't find the area from just the perimeter. With a perimeter of say 80 units, the sides could be 10 and 30, with an area of 300 square units. But the sides could also be 5 and 35, with an area of 175 square units. There are lots of other possibilities. If you are talking about a square, that's different. Each side is a quarter of the perimeter, so the area is a quarter of the perimeter multiplied by a quarter of the perimeter.
