The question doesn't nail it down; i.e., there can be several answers that satisfy the given information. Perimeter 'P' = 2 x (Length + Width) Area 'A' = (Length) x (Width) = 2 x y What is the Length, and what is the Width ? Here are five correct answers: ==> If the rectangle is (2) by (x y), A = 2xy, P = 4 + 2xy ==> If the rectangle is (2x) by (y), A = 2xy, P = 4x + 2y ==> If the rectangle is (x) by (2y), A = 2xy, P = 2x + 4y ==> If the rectangle is (1) by (2xy), A = 2xy, P = 2 + 4xy ==> If the rectangle is (0.1) by (20xy), A = 2xy, P = 0.2 + 40xy

What is the perimeter of a rectangle equals 24?
The perimeter is the distance around, the sum of the sides. A 5 x 7 or a 4 x 8 rectangle has a perimeter of 24.
What is a perimeter of a rectangle?
That depends. The perimeter of a rectangle equals the all the sides added together! The perimeter of a rectangle is the distance around it. The formula for finding the perimeter of a rectangle is: P = 2L + 2W (the length x 2 added to the width x 2). Example: A 5x10 rectangle has a perimeter of 30: (5x2 + 10x2 = 30)
What is the perimeter of a rectangle which is 19ft by 8ft?
is equals to 2*19FT + 2*8FT
If you have a rectangle whose Perimeter equals 60 and the Area equals 200 what are the lengths of the four sides?
The rectangle must have sides with lengths of 20, 20, 10, and 10. 20+20+10+10 = 60 (perimeter) 20*10 = 200 (area)
How do you find the perimeter of a rectangle when only the base and area are given?
If the shape is a rectangle...We know that the AREA equals BASE x WIDTH ... A equals B*WIf we divide both sides by B we get: W equals A/BWe know that the PERIMETER equals ( 2 x BASE ) + ( 2 x WIDTH ) ... P equals 2B+2WWe can substitute W in the perimeter formula as follows:P equals 2B+2WP equals 2B+(2*A/B)So... if you know the Base and Area, you should now use this new formula to get the Perimeter.
