First of all, the area cannot be 40 cm since an area is 2-dimensional whereas the measure given is 1-dimensional. Next, the shape is not defined and so the width, length and perimeter are indeterminate.
Even if you assume that the shape is a rectangle, the width, length and perimeter are indeterminate. On the basis that the length is greater than the width, all that you can say is that the length will be greater than or equal to sqrt(40) = 6.324555 (to 6 dp), the width will be 40 divided by that length and the perimeter will be twice their sum.
Some examples:
Length = 8, width = 5, perimeter = 26
Length = 10, width = 4, perimeter = 28
Length = 40, width = 1, perimeter = 82
Length = 4000, width = 0.01, perimeter = 8000.02
Length = 4,000,000, width = 0.00001, perimeter = 8,000,000.00002
and so on, without limit.

What measurements do you need to find the area and perimeter of a rectangle how would you use these measurements to find the area and perimeter of a rectangle?
you need length and width length multiply width = area length + length + width + width = perimeter
How does perimeter relate to area?
The perimeter is equal to length + length + width + width while area is length x width. Both measurements are found by using width and length.
How do you find the perimeter of a rectangle if you have the length and the area?
Area = Length*Width so Width = Area/Length. Therefore the Width can be calculated. Then, perimeter = 2*(Length + Width) and everything on the right hand side of the equation is known so the perimeter can be calculated.
What is the perimeter of a square with an area of 800?
Area = Legth x Width In a square, Length = Width Therefore Area = Length x Length (or Width x Width) Area = Length squared Length = Square Root of 800 Perimeter = 4 x length Perimeter = 4 x Square Root of 800 Perimeter = 113.14
What is the difference between perimeter and area of polygon?
perimeter is the measure around the figure; area is the measure within the figure formula: perimeter: length+length+width+width=perimeter (for square or rectangle) area: length times width= area ( for square or rectangle)
