What is formula for the area of a rectangle?
The area of a rectangle is the length times the width. Example: Let's say a problem asked you : What is the area of a rectangle with a length of 5 cm and a width of 7 cm. Solution: All you have to is multiply 7 times 5 = 35 square cm
The length of a rectangle is 5 centimeters less than twice it's width The perimeter of the rectangle is 26 cm What are the dimensions of the rectangle?
Given: p = 26cm and 2x width - 5cm = length p = 2(a+b) = 26cm; a+b = 13cm 2x6-5=7 The sides of the rectangle are: width 6cm and length 7cm
What is the width and length of a rectangle if the perimeter is 50 and the length is 5 cm more than the width?
Perimeter = 2 lengths and 2 widths In your case length + width = 25cm If length is 5cm more than width then length = 15cm and width = 10cm
Area of rectangle-?
length times width
If you know both the perimeter an the length of a rectangle how can you determine the width of the rectangle?
The perimeter is the total of all 4 sides of the rectangle, and a rectangle, by definition, has 2 sets of parallel sides. Perimeter = 2L + 2W (where L = length of ONE side, and W = width of ONE side). So, for example, if the perimeter is 40 cm, and the length is 15 cm, you figure out the width by subtraction and division. P = 2L + 2W 40 = 2(15) + 2W 40 = 30 + 2W 40-30 =30 + 2W - 30 10 = 2W 10/2 = 2W/2 5 = W So the width of the rectangle is 5 cm.
