How do you find the perimeter of a triangle if you know the area?
You cannot. For a given area, an equilateral triangle will have the smallest perimeter but that perimeter can be increased - without limit - without increasing the area.
How do you find the area of a common pentagon?
This is how you find the area of a regular pentagon: Break it into five isosceles triangles by drawing lines from the middle of it to each vertex. Then, draw a line connecting the middle to the midpoint of a side. You can call that line the apothem. The apothem should break up one of the triangles into two smaller congruent right triangles. You can know the degrees in the triangle by dividing the central angle of 360 by 10, (dividing it by 10 because your smallest triangle you're going to use is 1/10th of the whole pentagon) So now you know the unknown angle towards the top of the smallest triangle is 36, do the subtraction so the unknown angle towards the bottom is 54. Now trig it out! SOH-CAH-TOA shows that tan(54)=(a/s). A being the apothem and s being the side length of the smallest triangle, which is half a side length. Now that you know the lengths of the smallest triangle, find the area of that. That triangle is replicated 10 times in the pentagon, so multiply it by 10.
What is the area of a triangle with sides 30 meters by 40 meters by 70 mrtres?
The dimensions given would not form a triangle. The sum of a triangles 2 smallest sides must be greater than the triangle's longest side.
How is the area of a parallelogram related to the area formula for the area for a triangle?
It is base x height for the parallelogram. That is twice the area of a triangle which is: 1/2 base x height. (Base and height being the same for both cases).
What effect does doubling the base of a triangle have on the area?
Doubling the base of a triangle while keeping the height constant will double the area of the triangle. The area of a triangle is directly proportional to its base length, so increasing the base length by a factor of 2 will result in the area being multiplied by 2 as well.

What is the area of a perpendicular triangle?
I do believe you mean RIGHT triangle when you said perpendicular triangle. A right triangle has two legs and a hypotenuse. The area of a right triangle is 1/2 * (first leg) * (second leg) How do you determine which ones are the legs and which one is the hypotenuse? The hypotenuse is ALWAYS the largest number. So, choose the 2 smallest numbers.

The dimensions given would not form a triangle. The sum of a triangles 2 smallest sides must be greater than the triangle's longest side.
How do you find the smallest possible area of an isosceles triangle that is circumscribed about a circle of radius r?
It is 5.196*r^2 square units.

What shape has the smallest area?
circle has the smallest area
What do you have to do to the area of a right angled triangle?
The area of a triangle is one half base times height. In the case of a right triangle, the base is one leg and the height is the other leg. (The two legs being separated by the right angle.)
FORMULA- area of equilateral triangle?
Area of Equilateral Triangle A= S2 * (Root 3)/4, where A= Area of the triangle S= Side of the triangle.
What is the area with the smallest area?
The state with the smallest land area is Rhode Island
What is the area of a triangle 6cm by 8cm?
The area of triangle is : 24.0
