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
Can you find the perimeter of a rectangle with just knowing the area?
nope
The area of a rectangle is 100 inches the perimeter is 40 a second rectangle has the same area but a different perimeter. Is the second rectangle a square?
the area of a rectangleis 100 square inches. The perimeter of the rectangle is 40 inches. A second rectangle has the same area but a different perimeter. Is the secind rectangle a square? Explain why or why not.
How do you find the perimeter of a rectangle when you have the area?
You add all the sides up.
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.
