How dO you find the perimeter of a square if it only give you the area?
Square root the area and then times the answer by 4
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 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 area using perimeter?
It would depend on the shape that you are asking about. Also, only special shapes could express area as a function of the perimeter.Example: a square: area = s2, where s is the length of a side. Perimeter of a square is 4*s.So if P (for perimeter) = 4 * s, then s = P/4,and A (for area) = s2 = (P/4)2 = P2/16But for a rectangle that is not a square, there is no relationship between area and perimeter.
What measurements do you need to find the area and perimeter of a square?
You only need to know the length of one side. Knowing the side length (s) you can find the area (multiply s by s) and perimeter (multiply s by 4)
