If a rectangle measures 12 x 8, doubling means to times by 2. So 12 x 8 becomes 24 x 16.

What does area of a rectangle mean?

Area of a square/rectangle=its length × its width


What is the perimeter of a rectangle whose with is 6?

I think you mean the width is 6. The answer depends entirely on what the length of the rectangle is. For example, if it is a square, so that the length and width are both 6, the answer is 24. I the length is 10, the perimeter is 32. In general, just add the width (6) to the length and double the sum to get the perimeter.


When people say perimeter is the length times width do they mean the whole shape?

If people say that "perimeter is the length times width" stop listening to them. They don't know what they are talking about.Length times width is the area, not the perimeter. For a square or rectangle, the perimeter is double the sum of the length and the width.


How do you found the height of rectangle?

There is no "height" of a rectangle, unless it's a rectangular prism. Do you mean the length? If you have the area of the rectangle, the equation should be:A= L x WPlug in the area and the length and solve for the width, or plug in the area the width of the rectangle, and solve for the length.


What is the length of a perfect rectangle with width W 55?

Assuming you mean a golden rectangle as opposed to one which can be split up into squares: length = width × φ = width × (√5 + 1)/2 = 55 × (√5 + 1)/2 ≈ 89.0 units


What does 3 more than twice its width?

Badly expressed! Do you mean "what is the area of a rectangle with a length that is 3 more than twice its width?" ? If you have a width, then presumably you have a length, in which case you presumably have a rectangle. But what do we want to know about this rectangle? You haven't said. Its area? Its perimeter? Its color? Its shoe size?


How do you find the length of a rectangle knowing ONLY the diagonal and the length?

If by that you mean knowing only the diagonal and the width, then by the formula a2+b2=c2, where a is the length, b the width and c the diagonal. To find the width b, you need to calculate sqrt(c2-a2). For example, the width of a rectangle with length 3 and diameter 5 is sqrt(52-32)=4


What is a strategy to calculate irregular rectangles?

There is no such thing as an "irregular rectangle". To calculate the area of a rectangle - if that's what you mean - you multiply length x width.


What is the area of this rectangle is 5x2. What does the coefficient 5 mean in terms of the problem?

The length is 5 times the width


How do you find diameter of a rectangle?

Do you mean perimeter? If so....2 x length + 2 x width.


What does 2D shape mean?

It means two dimensional such as the shape of a polygon or a rectangle that has dimensions of length and width.


How do you find the fixed area of a rectangle?

I don't know what you mean by fixed area. All I know is that the area of a rectangle is the length times the width. As long as you don't change the length or the width, or change it into a different kind of shape, this area will remain fixed.
