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 of a rectngle if you are only given the perimeter?
You can't. Whatever the perimeter is, there are an infinite number of rectangles withdifferent dimensions that all have the same perimeter.Example:1 x 112 x 103 x 94 x 85 x 76 x 61/2 x 11.5all have perimeter of 24.
How do you find the perimeter of a rectangle when only the area is given?
You cannot find the perimeter unless the rectangle is a regular rectangle (a square) in which case the perimeter is 4 times the square root of the area. With just the area the shape of the rectangle could be any number of shapes with different perimeter, for example, imagine 6 square units 1cm by 1cm arranged in a 1*6 configuration to give a long thin rectangle, the perimeter would be 6+6+1+1=14cm, the same 6 arranged in a 3*2 rectangle would have the same area, but a perimeter of 3+3+2+2=10cm, for this reason a rectangle's perimeter cannot be determined from the area alone.
Find the perimeter of a hexagon if all the sides are 1 meter long?
A hexagon has 6 sides, and if each side is 1 meter, we multiply this by the number of sides (6) to get 1 x 6 which is 6. Therefore, the perimeter is 6 meters.

How do you 'find the ratio of its length to its perimeter?
To find the ratio of the length of a shape to its perimeter, you would divide the length by the perimeter. For example, if the length of a rectangle is 4 units and its perimeter is 12 units, the ratio would be 4/12 or 1/3. This ratio represents the proportion of the length to the total distance around the shape.
Which polygons can you use shortcuts to find the perimeter?
They are regular polygons because you just multiply number of sides by the length of 1 side
Is there 1 more way to find the perimeter of a rectangle?
say there is
How do you find the the width and the length when only given the perimeter the perimeter is 26?
If it's a rectangle, you don't have enough information. It could be anything from 1 by 12 to 6 by 7. If it's a square, you just divide by four.
How do you calculate a side of an equilateral triangle?
Find out what 1 side is and multiply by 3 to find perimeter
How do find the diameter of the circle in terms of pi?
perimeter of a circle = pie *r^2 Hence r^2 = perimeter/ pie hence r = (perimeter/Pie)^1/2 Hence diameter = 2r= 2* ( perimeter?pie) ^1/2
