In a rectangle, the area is calculated by multiplying length x width. If (for example) both length and width are in centimeters, the area will be in square centimeters.

What is the area of a rectangle in square centimetres if the perimeter is 46 cm?

If it is a rectangle and not a square there is not enough information to solve this problem for area. Perimeter is 2( B+H) = 46 Area = BH


Is it possible to have a perimeter of 46 and an area of 42 as a rectangle?

No, it is not possible for a rectangle to have a perimeter of 46 and an area of 42 simultaneously. For a rectangle, the perimeter ( P ) is given by ( P = 2(l + w) ), and the area ( A ) is ( A = l \times w ), where ( l ) is the length and ( w ) is the width. Solving these equations shows that the dimensions needed for these values are inconsistent, meaning no such rectangle exists.

What is the perimeter of a rectangle with 14 centimeters and width 9 centimeters?

Perimeter is the length of a closed line around an area. A rectangle is an area. If each long side of the rectangle is 12 cm and each end of the rectangle is 9 cm, the total length is 14+14+9+9 or 46 cm.


What is the total length needed to enclose a rectangular area 46 feet by 34 feet?

A rectangle which is 46 feet by 34 feet would have two sides of length 46 and two sides of length 34. Add these together to get the total length needed to enclose the area. (46+46+34+34)ft = 160ft

What is the length and width of a shape with an area of 46?

The area is not sufficient information to determine the length and width.First of all, there is no reason to suppose that the area is rectangular as opposed to circular or triangular or some other simple or complicated shape. Even if, on the basis that the question asks for length and width, you assume that it is a rectangle, there are infinitely many possible answers.Consider a rectangle whole lenght, L is any number greater than or equal to sqrt(46) units, and let W = 46/L units be its width.Then area = LxW = Lx46/W = 46 units.But L is any one of infinitely many numbers, and so there are infinitely many solutions.
