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.
