You need to solve the two equations
P = perimeter
A = area
B = width
H = height
P = 2B + 2H
A = BH
H = A/B
P = 2B + 2A/B
P = (2B^2 + 2A)/B
2B^2 -PB +2A = 0
B = (P +/- SQRT(P^2-16A))/4
ONE ROOT IS B, the other is H

How do you find the optimal area of a rectangle given its perimeter?
Multiply length by width
What is the area of a rectangle that its perimeter is 39?
156 It is impossible to calculate the area of a rectangle from its perimeter if no other dimension is known. The area of a rectangle is the product of its length and width, and the perimeter is twice the sum of its length and width.
What measurements do you need to find the area and perimeter of a rectangle how would you use these measurements to find the area and perimeter of a rectangle?
you need length and width length multiply width = area length + length + width + width = perimeter
What is the difference between perimeter and area of polygon?
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)
How do you find the length and width of a rectangle when given the area and perimeter?
By forming a quadratic equation from the information given and then the length and width can be found by solving the equation.
