A square would have the same formula for area as a rectangle: Area = length x width. Both figures have four right angles.

What is the formula for fixed area of a rectangle?

Area rectangle = length x width (using same units).


How could you use the formula for area of a rectangle to find the formula for the area of a triangle?

A traingle covers half the area of a rectangle with the same base and [perpendicular] height.


Is length times width the formula for a rectangle?

it is the formula for both a rectangle and a square. remember a square is a rectangle, but a rectangle is not a square (what i mean is a square has to have all 90 degree angles and four sides that are all the same length a rectangle doesn't have all the same lengths. but a rectangle is a shape with all 90 degree angles, and a square fits that discription)


Do a rectangle and a square have the same area?

Any plane shape can have the same area as any other plane shape if the dimensions are carefully selected


How do you find an area of a shape?

depends on the shape, if its a square the formula is LW, a rectangle is the same. For a triangle the formula is Lx1/2W. for a trapezium split it into triangles and rectangles and work out the areas before adding them together. for a circle i think its pixrsquared


A rectangle with the same area and perimeter?

Would be congruent.It doesn't have to be a rectangle, though.It could be any shape.


Formula in finding the area of rectangle?

Multiply the width (w) by the height (h). Or (w) x (h) = a (area). The same goes for any shape, except rounded figures, i think


What is the shape that has the same formula for area as a parallelogram?

A rectangle and a parallelogram have the same formula for area:The area of a parallelogram is given:area = length × widthwhere:length is the length of one of the sides of the parallelogram; andwidth is the perpendicular distance between the side chosen for the length and its parallel side.In the formula for the area of a rectangle, the width (perpendicular distance between the sides given for the length) is also the length of the other two sides.


Why the formula to find the area of a parallelogram is the same as the formula to find the area of a rectangle?

of course base times height for a square or rectangle. but for a trapezoid a= h x "b1+b2"


Why does rhombus and a kite have same formula for area?

because they are the same shape


How can knowing the formula for the area of a rectangle help you find the surface area of a prism?

The cross-section of a prism is the same - it is the same as the shape of the two parallel "bases"; this cross-section can be any shape, not necessarily a rectangle. Each side of a prism is rectangular, so knowing the formula for a rectangle will help you along to finding the surface area of the prism by helping you to calculate the area of the sides; however, you will still need to be able to calculate the area of the bases (unless it is given to you), for which knowing the area of a rectangle may not (usually will not) help.
