You can't. The area doesn't tell you the dimensions or the perimeter. You absolutely

must know something else besides the area. For example, if you know the area, and

you also know that the building is square, then the perimeter is four times the square

root of the area. But that's only an example. The main thing is: You can't figure out

anything else from just the area and no other information.

Here's an example:

If you had a building that was 40ft x 40ft it's square feet would be 1600, but it's perimeter would be 40+40+40+40 or 160.

If instead you had a building that was 20ft x 80ft it's square feet would be 1600, but it's perimeter would be 20 + 80 + 20 + 80 or 200.

So see, both have the same square feet, but different perimeters.

What is the perimeter of a 4' square?

Its perimeter is 16'. A square has to have four equal sides, so you know that if one side is four feet then all the others must also be four feet. The perimeter is the sum of all the sides, so you will just need to add 4+4+4+4 to get a total perimeter of 16 feet.


What is the perimeter of 500 sq ft?

To find the perimeter of an area of 500 square feet, we first need to know the shape of the area. For a square, each side would be approximately 22.36 feet (since the area (A = s^2), where (s) is the side length). The perimeter (P) would then be (4s), resulting in a perimeter of about 89.44 feet. For other shapes, the perimeter would vary accordingly.


What is the area of a square when perimeter is 12 feet?

There are two equations that need to be known for this. The first is that the perimeter of a square is 4 times the side length. So in this case the perimeter is twelve feet, we know that the side length must be 3 feet. The other equation is that the area of a square is the side length squared. So in this case, the side length is 3 feet, so the area is 9 feet2


You have 133.33 yards of carpet how many square feet will that cover?

To know how much square feet this will cover, We need the info about what the perimeter of the carpet is first, otherwise this question cannot be answered. (If you do not have a defined perimeter, equal length and width would make the most area.)


What are the uses of perimeter?

A perimeter is the border round an area. As to the area, imagine a field 200 feet by 50 feet: 200 × 50 = 10,000 square feet. The distance round the edge would be 500 ft. You might need this if you wanted to know the necessary length of a fence.

What is the perimeter of 24 square ft?

To know the perimeter, you must know the dimensions (length and width). But there are many possible dimensions if you have 24 square feet.


How do you find the area of a yard using the perimeter in square feet?

You can't only using the perimeter. You have to know length and width.


How do you turn square feet into a perimeter?

To find the perimeter of a shape given the area in square feet, you need to know the dimensions of the shape. If it's a square or rectangle, you can calculate the perimeter by finding the square root of the area to get the side length, and then multiply that by 4 for a square or 2 times the sum of the length and width for a rectangle. If it's a different shape, you will need additional information to determine the perimeter.

What is the area of a square with a perimeter of 28 feet?

The perimeter of a square is the sum of all four sides, so if the perimeter of a square is 28 feet, we can set up the equation: 4s = 28 where s is the length of one side of the square. To find the area of the square, we need to know the length of one side, so we can divide both sides of the equation by 4: s = 28/4 s = 7 So the length of one side of the square is 7 feet. To find the area of the square, we can square the length of one side: Area = s^2 Area = 7^2 Area = 49 square feet So the area of a square with a perimeter of 28 feet is 49 square feet.

How many feet are in the perimeter of 2 acres?

To find the perimeter of 2 acres, we first need to convert acres to square feet. 1 acre is equal to 43,560 square feet, so 2 acres is 87,120 square feet. The perimeter of a rectangular area can be calculated by adding the lengths of all four sides. Since acres are a measure of area, we need additional information about the shape of the area to determine the perimeter in feet.


How many feet are in the perimeter of 1.5 acres?

Oh, dude, you're really making me do math right now? Okay, okay. So, 1.5 acres is equal to 65,340 square feet. If you want the perimeter, you'd have to know the shape of the area. But if we assume it's a square, then the perimeter would be around 920 feet. But hey, who's really counting, right?

The area of a square is 22500 ft squared - what is the perimeter?

To find the perimeter of a square, you need to know the length of one side. Since the area of the square is given as 22500 ft², you can find the length of one side by taking the square root of the area. The square root of 22500 is 150, so each side of the square is 150 ft. The perimeter of a square is calculated by multiplying the length of one side by 4, so the perimeter of this square would be 600 ft.
