The perimeter of a rectangular field is P feet The width of the field is 200 feet less than its length In terms of P what is the length of the field in Feet?
UItimateNoob
P = 2 x (L + W), so L + W = 100 ie P/2 = L + W
W = L - 200 so P/2 = L + L - 200 = 2L - 200 therefore L = P/4 + 100

What are perimeter?
in math terms, the perimeter is the measure around the shape.
Rectangle whose perimeter is larger than area?
Perimeter is a unit of length. Area is a unit of area. The two units are not directly convertible.However, the area of a rectangle is length times width, and the perimeter is two times length plus two times width. Given constant perimeter, a square has maximum area, while a very thin rectangle has nearly zero area. (In calculus terms, the limit of the area as length or width goes to zero is zero.)Depending on how you want to name your units, you can always find a rectangle whose perimeter is "larger" than area, but this is a numerical trick that is not valid in any school of thought of mathematics that I know.
Find the perimeter of the square and then convert the answer to meters given 100cm 1m 01m 1cm?
It is not possible to give a straightforward answer to this question because the person who posted the question forgot to describe the square!If the length of each side of the square is s cm, then its perimeter is 4*s cm. In terms of metres, that is 4*s/100 = s/25 metres.
What is the perimeter or circumference of an oval or ellipse?
It isn't possible to give a generalised formula for the circumference of an ellipse in terms of elementary functions. The circumference (or perimeter) of an oval is represented by an infinite series based on multiple aspects of the oval including: * Eccentricity * Implied length ("major radius") * Implied width ("minor radius")
What is the length and width of a rectangle that has a perimeter of 20 inches and an area of 24.4524 square inches showing work with final answers?
What do we know about the perimeter of a rectangle? perimeter = 2 × (length + width) → 2 × (length + width) = 20 in → length + width = 10 in → length = 10 in - width What do we know about the area of a rectangle: area = length × width → length × width = 24.4524 in² But from the perimeter we know the length in terms of the width and can substitute it in: → (10 in - width) × width = 24.4524 in² → 10 in × width - width² = 24.4524 in² → width² - 10 in × width + 24.4524 in² = 0 This is a quadratic which can be solved by using the formula: ax² + bx + c → x = (-b ±√(b² - 4ac)) / (2a) → width = (-10 ±√(10² - 4 × 1 × 24.4524)) / (2 × 1) in → width = -5 ± ½√(100 - 97.8096) in → width = -5 ±½√2.1904 in → width = -5 ± 0.74 in → width = 4.26 in or 5.74 in → length = 10 in - 4.26 in = 5.74 in or 10 in - 5.74 in = 4.26 in (respectively) By convention the width is the shorter length (though it doesn't have to be) making the width 4.26 in and the length 5.74 in. Thus the rectangle is 5.74 in by 4.26 in
How does the length and width of a rectangle relate to the perimeter?
If you add the length and width together, it will always be half of the perimeter. In terms of an equation, it would look like so: Perimeter = (2 x Length) + (2 x Width)
How do you turn square feet into a perimeter?
A perimeter is a length. It cannot be expressed in terms of area.
In mathematical terms what is a box?
A rectangular prism. If every edge is the same length, then it is a cube.
What formula expresses the perimeter of a rectangle in terms of its length?
The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is: p = 2(l + w) In other words, just add all four sides. You can't calculate the perimeter of the rectangle if you know only the length.

The length of a rectangular backyard is 13 feet longer than its width x What is the area of the backyard in terms of x?
x2 + 13x
The length of a rectangular backyard is 13 feet longer than its width (x) What is the area of the backyard in terms of x?
x2+13x
What is the length and width of a rectangle with the perimeter of 60 and an area of 224?
The length of the rectangular slab = LThe width of the rectangular slab = WThe formula for perimeter in terms of the length and width is 2L + 2W = 60The area =L*W = 224So L=224/WWe substitute that into the formula for perimeter and we haveP=2(224/w)+2w=60This can be simplified tow2-30w+224=0 so we can solve it and find w.Fortunately, it factors or else we would need to use the quadratic equation.(w-14)(w-16)=0. Now we use the zero product rule and we findthe solutions are 14 and 16. This means the rectangle is 14x16. We need to check the answer.We note that 14x16=224 so that is the desired area and 14x2+16x2=28+32=60 which is the desired perimeter.
The breadth of a rectangle is ten less than four times its length. Let x be the length of the rectangle What is the perimeter of the rectangle in terms of x?
breadth = 4x - 10 ie length + breadth = 5x - 10. Perimeter is double this figure ie 10x - 20 or 10(x - 2)
Which equation solves for w in terms of L and P?
If we're talking Width, Length and Perimeter then W = P/2 - L
What are perimeter?

What is the perimeter of a rectangle which has a diagonal of 8.50 cm and an area of 3000 square mm showing work with answer?
Here is what you are supposed to do: * Convert to consistent units. For example, convert the cm to mm. * Write an equation for the diagonal (in terms of length and width). Replace the known diagonal. * Write an equation for the area, in terms of length and width. * Solve the two equations simultaneously. * Calculate the perimeter.
