Can you find the area of a rectangle only knowing the perimeter?

To find the area of a rectangle, you multiply the length by the width (one side by a different side) Or you could count how many centimeter squares make up the rectangle

1 metre perimeter = 100 centimetre perimeter.

Parameter of rectangle equal parameter of triangle?

I hope you want to know the Perimeter. Perimeter is the total length of the boundary of the region bounded by a shape. For a rectangle it is the sum of the 4 bounding sides, or 2*(L+B), where L is Length of the rectangle and B is Breadth of the rectangle. For a Triangle it is the sum of the 3 sides. If you consider an equilateral triangle. By property the 3 sides of an equilateral triangle are equal. Hence the Perimeter of an equilateral triangle is denoted as; 3*a, where a is the length of one of the sides of the triangle. It is possible that the perimeter of a rectangle is same as that of many different types of triangles. We can formulate a relationship for a special case where the perimeter of a rectangle is equal to the perimeter of an equilateral triangle; P(R) = P(ET), P(R) is perimeter of rectangle and P(EQ) is perimeter of Equilateral triangle. P(R)=2(L*B) = P(EQ) = 3*a; hence, a = (2/3)*(L*B) = P(R)/3. i.e., the sides of the Equilateral triangle are one thirds of the perimeter of the rectangle.


How many yards of fencing will you need for 20yrds by 15yrds?

Assuming that you have a rectangle shaped area, 20 yards long by 15 yards wide, and you want to completely enclose the area with the fencing, then you have a problem where you need to find the perimeter of a rectangle. Perimeter = 2 * Length + 2 * Width Perimeter = 2 * (20 yd) + 2 * (15 yd) = 40 yd + 30 yd = 70 yards
