Six inches
The perimeter would be 4 inches !
This is possible because you add perimiters but multiply areas. Consider a 2 x 4 rectangle and a 1 x 5 rectangle. The first has a perimeter of 12 (2+2+4+4), and an area of 8 (2 x 4). The second rectangle has a perimeter of 12 also (1+1+5+5), but an area of 5 (5 x 1). The closer a rectangle is to a perfect square, the larger the area will be, because a square maximizes area. A 3 x 3 square also has a perimeter of 12, but an area of 9. Heres another way to think about it: a rectangle that is one inch tall and 100 inches wide would have a perimeter of 202 inches, and an area of 100 square inches. If you added one inch to the side so that it was 101 inches wide, you would add 2 inches to the perimeter, but only one square inch to the area. However, if you made it one inch taller, you would still add 2 inches to the perimeter, but you would DOUBLE the area to 200 square inches.
Let's assume they are 1 inch floor tiles. 20 - 8 = 12 square inches
9" x 4"
how do you find the area of a rectangle witha perimeter of 36 in You don't. You need more information For example a 1 x 17 rectangle has a perimeter of 36 and its area is 17. But a 2 x 16 rectangle also has a perimeter of 36 and its area is 32.
It is 1+4+1+4 = 10 inches.
It is 1+4+1+4 = 10 inches.
Yes, a rectangle can be 17 inches by 1 inch
Yes it is possible. Consider these two shapes with the same area: a 2-inch square and a 1-inch x 4-inch rectangle both have the same area of 4 sq inches. However, the square has a perimeter of 8 inches while the rectangle has a perimeter of 10 inches. By the way, the shape with the largest area for a given perimeter is a circle.
4 inches
The perimeter would be 4 inches !
Could be. Let's say the rectangle is 3.5 in by 1 in; then it would take 3 and one-half tiles.

4 in2 Square has four equal sides and you say the side is 1 inch. Hence perimeter is 4 inches
Assuming the shape is a regular rectangle, then the width of each side will be equal to (22 - (10 x 2))/2 = 1 inch.
It is: 3*1 = 3 inches
The perimeter actually doesn't tell you anything about the breakdown betweenthe length and width. All we can tell about this one is that the sum of (length+width)has to be 15 inches. That still leaves an infinite number of possible rectangles.If the perimeter is 30 inches and the length has to be the longer dimension, thenit can be anything more than 7.5 inches, with no upper limit.For example:Width = 1 millionth of an inchLength = 1 millionth of an inch less than 15 inchesPerimeter = 30 inches.
