Let l represent the length and w the width. Perimeter equals 2*l+2*w. From the information in the problem, we have two equations and two unknowns:
2l+2w=504
l=2w-9
Substitute l from the second equation into the first equation and solve for w:
2(2w-9)+2w=504
4w-18+2w=504
6w-18=504
6w=522
w=522/6=87
Now, substitue w=87 into the second equation above to find l:
l=2*87-9=165
With the length and width determined, we can find the area:
Area = l*w=165*87=14355 yds2

The shorter side of a rectangle has a length of x inches the longer side has a lenght of 2x-1 in If the perimeter is 58 in find the length of the sides?
shorter side = 10 longer side = 19
The width of a rectangle is 5 shorter than its length Its perimeter is 98 find the dimensions?

Suppose the side lengths of a rectangle are halved. what would happen to the perimeterr?
It is also halved. In general, if you increase any linear measurement of a figure by a certain factor (i.e., stretching the figure so that you obtain a geometrically similar figure), then all linear measurements will increase by the same factor. In this case, all linear measurements of the rectangle are increased by a factor of 0.5 - that includes the length of any side, the perimeter, the half-perimeter, the diagonal, the sum of the diagonals, the length of half the shorter side, or any other linear measurement you can think of.
Is 44mm longer or shorter than 5cm?
shorter
How do you appear shorter?
Ways that make you appear shorter is slouching, slouching will make you appear shorter so if you stand straiter you will appear taller
A Rectangular prism A has a volume of 24 cubic inches the width is 1 inch shorter than length and 2 inches shorter than the height?
Width = 2Length = 3Height = 4
The diagonal of the rectangle is 15cm find the length of the longest side which has sa shorter side of 9cm?
a rectangle had a perimeter of 48 and the longest side is 15 find the lenght of a shorter side
A right triangle has one leg three times as long as the other Find a function that models its perimeter P in terms of the length x of the shorter leg?
The perimeter is the sum of all of the sides of the triangle. If the shorter leg is x, the longer leg is 3x. The hypotenuse is then the square root of x^2 + 3x^2, or 2x. Then the perimeter is x + 3x + 2x, simplified, f(x) = 6x.
The shorter side of a rectangle has a length of x inches the longer side has a lenght of 2x-1 in If the perimeter is 58 in find the length of the sides?
shorter side = 10 longer side = 19

What is the perimeter of 7cm by 6cm?
Assuming that this is a rectangle, you know that the length (longer side) would be 7cm, and the width (shorter side) would be 6cm. The formula for perimeter is, 2(length) + 2(width) = Perimeter Now we can plug in our numbers, 2(7cm) + 2(6cm) = 14cm + 12cm = 26cm The perimeter would be 26cm, assuming that this is a rectangle ^^
The perimeter of a triangle is 32 feet and one side is 3 feet shorter what is the maximum length of each side of the triangular area?

Why does converting from a longer metric unit of length to a shorter one require multiplication?
Because there are more shorter lengths in the longer measurement. for example a line measures 2 metres. the same line also measures 200 centimetres - since a centimetre is 100 times smaller than a metre.
How do you solve surface area of a rectangular prisem?
Properties of a rectangular prism: * A rectangular prism has a total of 6 surfaces. * Because it is rectangular it will have 4 equal longer edges and 8 equal shorter edges, and so * It will have 4 rectangular faces and 2 square faces, therefore * Total surface area = 2 x square (end ) surface + 4 x rectangular (side) surfaces If we let x = shorter edges (breadth) & y = longer edges (length), and, as area = length x breadth, then * each end (a square surface) will have an area of x2 * each side (rectangular surface) will have an area of xy Thus: Total surface area of the rectangular prism = 2 x end area + 4 x side area = 2x2 + 4xy = 2x(x + 2y) Hope this nswers your question and explains how we arrive at the formula for calculating the total surface area of a rectangular prism.
How many areas do you need to know to get the surface area of a rectangular prism?
Three: 1) The area of the cross-sectional rectangle end 2) The area of the rectangle joining the longer side of the cross-sectional rectangular ends 3) The area of the rectangle joining the shorter side of the cross-sectional rectangular ends Then the surface area of the rectangular prism is twice the sum of these three areas.

How do you find the perimeter in a parrallelogram?
Add together the lengths of the 4 sides, or you could add the length of one shorter side to one longer side and then double it. e.g. Perimeter of parallelogram = l = b = l = b, or 2(l + b)
