Formula of a rectangle?
There is no formula for a rectangle. There are formula for calculating its area, perimeter or length of diagonals from its sides, or it is possible to calculate the length of one pair of sides given the other sides and the area or perimeter, or the two lots of sides given area and perimeter and so on.
Which mathematician invented the formula for perimeter?
Although some have said Archimedes, my opinion is that the formulas for area and perimeter of a rectangle were well known before his time (300BC). The Babylonians in 1500BC knew how to create Pythagorean triples, so I wouldn't be surprised if they knew this. Archimedes did discover more difficult formulas, such as perimeter and area of a circle, and volume of a sphere and a cone.
How do you remember formula for area and perimeter?
you go back to school
What does the P stand for in the surface area formula?
Stands for perimeter.
What is the formula for the pentagon?
Any 5 sided polygon is a pentagon. There is no formula for it. We have formulas for area and perimeter. Perhaps that is what you are asking?
What mathematician discovered the formula for finding the surface area of a sphere?

What is the largest area that you can have if the perimeter is 24 feet?
You get the largest area with a circle. Divide the perimeter by (2 x pi), then calculate the area with the formula pi x radius2.You get the largest area with a circle.

Which Indian mathematician derived the formula of area of cyclic quadrilateral?
brahmagupta
What is the formula for surface area if the only measurement you have is the perimeter?
There can be no such formula in general. A formula will exist if the area is a regular polygon (or a circle).
What is the area and perimeter of square?
The formula for the area of a square is: s * s where s = length of a side The formula for the perimeter of a square is: 4 * s where s = length of a side
What is the formula for measuring area within a given perimeter such as a square?
The formula for measuring the area of a square is s2, where s is the length of one of the sides. The perimeter would be 4s.
Is area the same with perimeter?
perimeter is different from area because example is in rectangle from formula until you get the answer you can easily see the difference
