Which shape has the shortest perimeter?
If you want to enclose a certain area, the shape that does it with the shortest perimeter is a circle.
What is the perimeter if the area is 4785 feet?
Knowing the area doesn't tell you the perimeter. There are an infinite number of different sizes and shapes with different perimeters that all have the same area. The shortest possible perimeter for any area is a circle. The shortest possible perimeter for any area with straight sides is a square. And also by the way, there are many different units for area. "Feet" is not one of them. "Square feet" is.
What shape has a bigger area and a smaller perimeter?
Bigger than what ? Smaller than what ? If you have a certain perimeter and you want to cram the most area inside it, or if you have a certain area and you want to enclose it in the shortest perimeter, then you must make the perimeter circular. If you have only a limited number of fence posts and a circular perimeter isn't practical, then you make the perimeter square.
The perimeter of a square is atleast 22 inches what is the shortest possible length for each side of this square?
A square has four equal sides Perimeter of a square = 4 X length of a side Shortest possible length of a side is 22 inches divided by 4 sides = 5.5 inches
A triangle has a perimeter of 46 cm the longest side is twice as long as the shortest side the third side is 6 cm longer than the shortest side the length of the shotest side is?
