For the first rectangle, (L x W) = (5 x W) = 15, so W = 3 cm.

The second rectangle is included in the question just to confuse you.

Finding areas of oddly shaped rectangles?

What is an "oddly shaped rectangle"? Rectangles have four sides, with two pairs of sides that are equal in length and parallel to each other, and four right angles. Anything that fits this definition is a rectangle, period. There's nothing "odd" about any of them. But the area of any rectangle can be found by multiplying the lengths of any two adjacent sides.


If two rectangles have the same perimetre they must have the same area?

No, two rectangles with the same perimeter do not necessarily have the same area. The area of a rectangle is calculated as length multiplied by width, while the perimeter is the sum of all sides. For example, a rectangle with dimensions 2x5 (perimeter 14) has an area of 10, while a rectangle with dimensions 3x4 (also perimeter 14) has an area of 12. Thus, rectangles can have the same perimeter but different areas.


A rectangle and triangle have equal areas the length of the rectangle is 12 in and its width is 8 in if the base of the triangle is 32 in what is the length in inches of the altitude drawn to the base?

A rectangle and a triangle have equal areas. The length of the rectangle is 12 inches, and its width is 8 inches. If the base of the triangle is 32 inches, what is the length, in inches, of the altitude drawn to the base?


What is true about the sum of the length and the width for any rectangles with the same perimeterbut different areas?

For rectangles with the same perimeter, the sum of the length and width is constant, as it is directly related to the perimeter formula (P = 2(length + width)). However, even though they share the same perimeter, rectangles can have different areas depending on the specific values of length and width. This means that while the sum of length and width remains unchanged, the individual dimensions can vary to produce different areas.


Are all rectangles with the perimiter of 20 feet equal the same area?

No. For example, a 1 ft by 9 ft rectangle (2 sides of length 1 and 2 sides of length 9) has perimeter 20 ft and an area of 9 square feet. But a 4 ft by 6 ft rectangle also has a perimeter of 20 feet, but an area of 24 square feet. These two rectangles both have the same perimeter of 20 feet but different areas.

How are rectangles related to the distributive property?

Rectangles are related to the distributive property because you can divide a rectangle into smaller rectangles. The sum of the areas of the smaller rectangles will equal the area of the larger rectangle.


Rectangles with the area of 24cm?

In order to get a rectangle with an area of 24 centimeters, the length and width multiplied need to equal 24. On top of that, length and width may not be equal, or the shape would be a square instead of a rectangle. Examples of rectangles with 24cm areas: 1x24 cm 2x12 cm 3x8 cm 4x6 cm


What is its the width of 2 rectangles that the areas are 15cm2 and 60cm2 the lengt of the first rectangle is 5cm?

I can give the width of one of the rectangles. The first rectangle of area 15 cm2 and length of 5 cm has width of 3 cm. It is impossible to know the width of the other rectangle of area 60 cm2. However, if you had said that the two rectangles were similar, then the dimensions of the second rectangle would be 10 cm X 6 cm. But you didn't say that the two rectangles were similar; so there are infinite possibilities of what the dimensions of the second rectangle might be.


How do you find the areas of the rectangles?

multiply the length with the breadth.


Can rectangles with the same perimeter have different areas?

Yes. Say there are two rectangles, both with perimeter of 20. One of the rectangles is a 2 by 8 rectangle. The area of this rectangle is 2 x 8 which is 16. The other rectangle is a 4 by 6 rectangle. It has an area of 4 x 6 which is 24.


How do you work out the area of a compound shape?

wht u hve to do is to cut the shape into rectangles and then times the length and width together on each rectangle. then add up all the rectangles areas and add them alll up. ta da
