It depends on the shape. If it is a rectangle, we know that two of the sides are the same as the sides opposite them, so the missing side is the difference between half of the perimeter and the known side. If the perimeter is p, the known side is sk, and the missing side is sm,
sm = p ÷ 2 - sk = 0.5p - sk
Since the area (a) is the product of the two sides,
a = sk x (0.5p - sk) = 0.5psk - sk2
For example, if we know that the perimeter is 14 cm and one side is 5 cm, the other side is
sm = 0.5p - sk = 0.5 x 14 cm - 5 cm = 7 cm - 5 cm = 2 cm
The area is the product of the two sides, both of which we now have.
a = 5 cm x 2 cm = 10 cm2
Perimeter = 4*Side so that Side = Perimeter/4 Area of a rhombus = Side * Altitude so Altitude = Area/Side = Area/(Perimeter/4) = 4*Area/Perimeter
divide the perimeter by four to get the length of one side then square your answer to find the area
-- The perimeter of the square is [4 times the length of one side] . -- The length of one side of the square is [square root of its area] .
Area = side x side; perimeter = side x 4.
If the area is one square meter, the side length is one meter. Therefore, the perimeter is four meters.

The idea is to first calculate the length of one side. Then you can multiply that by 4 to get the perimeter.
As the area of a square is the length of one side squared, take the square root of 2401 to get one side's length. The perimeter is 4 times the length of one side.
Area = side x side; perimeter = side x 4.
Area equals base times height. The perimeter is 4 times the length of one side.
If 40 is the measure of one side, the perimeter is 160.
What is its area? Divide the perimeter by 4: that gives you the length of one side. Then square that length: that gives you the area.
You can find the perimeter of a rectangle if you know its area and the length of one side. Divide the area by the length of the known side and the quotient will be the length of a side perpendicular to the known side, and then multiply the sum of the two sides by two to find the perimeter.
If the area is one square meter, the side length is one meter. Therefore, the perimeter is four meters.
Divide the perimeter by 4, to get the length of one side. From there, you can easily calculate the area.
