With great difficultly.

The area could be any value greater than 0 units2 and less than or equal to the area of a square with the given perimeter which would be 1/16 x perimeter2 units2.

To know which of the possible areas you would need to know the length of one side, then you can work out the area:

perimeter = 2 x (length + width)

⇒ width = (1/2 x perimeter) - length

⇒ area = length x width

= length x ((1/2 x perimeter) - length)

= (1/2 x perimeter x length) - length2

How do you find the perimeter when you know the area?

There is no possible way to. You can only add up all the sides to get the perimeter.---It is not impossible. You can get the perimeter from area very easily.First, you find the square root of the area, which will be the length of each side (assuming it is a square).Then, once you've found the length of each side, you multiply it by 4, and you should have the perimeter.

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.


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!! :)
