Which side of a rectangle is the length?
Either of the longer and shorter sides, but the length is usually the longer side and width is usually the shorter side.
How do you know which side is the length and which side is the width of a rectangle?
Most commonly, the longer side is the length.
The length of a rectangle is 7cm longer than its widthIf the perimeter of the rectangle is 142cm what are the dimensions of the rectangle?
perimeter = 2(length X width) = 2(l x w) = 2(w+7+w) - 2(2w+7)=142 2w+7 = 71; 2w=64; w = 32 and l = w+7 = 39 Check: perimeter = 2(32+37) = 142
An envelope is 7cm longer than it is wide the area is 78cm squared. What is the length and width?
13 by 6
What is the main difference between a square and a rectangle?
A square has exactly 4 sides all the same length A rectangle has 4 sides but 2 one length 2 another 2 longer 2 shorter:)))
A rectangle has a perimeter of 72m If the length is 20 m longer than the width find its dimensions?
a rectangle has a perimeter of 72m. If the length is 20 m longer than the width find its dimensions?
The length of a rectangle is 5 feet longer than its width The area of the rectangle is 374 square feet What are the dimensions of the rectangle?
17 and 22
Does it matter which dimensions you select for the length and width when you find the area of a rectangle?
not really but the length is always the longer side :)
What is the answer to the question one side of a rectangle is thrice longer than its width if the perimeter of the rectangle is 28 cm what are the dimensions of the rectangle?
The dimensions are: length 10.5 cm and width 3.5 cm Check: 2*(10.5+3.5) = 28 cm
What is the length of a rectangle of 2cm going down and 5cm going across?
I am not sure what the point is for you to give us the dimensions of a rectangle and then ask what one of those dimensions is. Perhaps you are not sure whether the shorter or the longer of the two dimensions would be considered the length, and which the width. I would say that a rectangle measuring 2cm x 5cm is 2cm wide and 5cm long.
A rectangle is twice as long as its wide.If its length is 3 cm longer and 2 cm wider and its area increases by 97 cm with these dimensions what were the original dimensions of the rectangle?
A rectangle has deminsions of 13 cm long and 78 cm wide.What is the area of the rectangle? A rectangle has deminsions of 13 cm long and 78 cm wide.What is the area of the rectangle?
What is the length of the shorter leg of a right triangle if the longer leg has a length of 45 and the hypotenuse has a length of 53?
Subtract the squared longer leg's squared length from the hypotenuse's square to obtain the squared shorter leg length. Then find the square root of that answer for your final answer. In other words: 53 squared minus 45 squared equals your squared answer.
The length of a rectangle is 4 cm longer than the width and the perimeter is at least 48 cm What are the smallest possible dimensions for the rectangle?
L + W >= 24, L = W + 4, Possible dimensions 14 and 10 giving an area of 140 sq cm.
A rectangle has a perimeter of 12 inches the length is one inch longer then the width what are the dimensions?
Length = 3.5 inches and Width = 2.5 inches Check: 2(3.5+2.5) = 12 inches
Is it generally accepted that the length of a rectangle is longer side?
No. length is usually the bottom. Furthermore, a rectangle doesn't necessarily have a longer side. A rectangle simply needs 4 right angles. Therefore a square is a rectangle, yet has no longer side.
How do you find the width of a rectangle when the height is 7 ft and the length is 23 ft?
A rectangle only has 2 dimensions. The longer one is usually called the length, and the shorter one is usually called the width. But if the rectangle happens to be standing up on one of its sides, then either the length or width may become its height. Whenever you see "height" of a rectangle, that number will be either the length or the width of the rectangle when the drawing is lying flat on the desk.
The perimeter of a rectangle is 36 and its area is 72 What is the length of the rectangle's longer side?
It is: 12 units in length
