if you have the area. divide the area by the length to get the width. If you have the perimeter subtract the length twice and divide the number you have by two. If it is a square the width is the same as the length.
perimeter is the measure around the figure; area is the measure within the figure formula: perimeter: length+length+width+width=perimeter (for square or rectangle) area: length times width= area ( for square or rectangle)
The area should be measured the length way and then the width way. Then multiply the length by the width. (example: 15x10=150 square feet of area)
Multiply the length times the width.
a two dimensional figure is flat. it only has length and width. three dimensional figures have length, width and height. A square is a 2 dimensional figure, but a cube is a 3 dimensional figure.
