How do you work out perimeter and area?
It is different for each shape. A perimeter is the distance around an object and the area is the square units it takes up.
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.
What is greater area or perimeter?
The units used are completely different and so incompatible. That said the numerical value for each of a plane figure, the area is usually greater.
What is the perimeter of 500 sq ft?
To find the perimeter of an area of 500 square feet, we first need to know the shape of the area. For a square, each side would be approximately 22.36 feet (since the area (A = s^2), where (s) is the side length). The perimeter (P) would then be (4s), resulting in a perimeter of about 89.44 feet. For other shapes, the perimeter would vary accordingly.
How are the perimeter and the side related to each other?
The length of each side, when added together, forms the perimeter.
