Can you use the formula for the perimeter of a square to find the perimeter of a rectangle?
Not really... The perimeter is simply the total distance around the outside of the shape. Since a square has four equal sides, the formula for the perimeter of a square can be simplified top = 4swhere p is the perimeter of a square and s is the length of one side. Rectangles have two pairs of opposite sides of the same length, but the length of one pair does not necessarily equal the length of the other pair. Therefore, in the equation above, 4s gets replaced by 2L + 2w, where L is length and w is width.p = 2L + 2w
No. The formula for a square requires information for one side only: that would not be enough for a rectangle.

yes
How do you use the formula of the perimeter of a rectangle to find the formula of the perimeter of a square?
The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle with length L and width W is P = 2*(L + W) In a square, the length and width are the same. So L = W And so A = 2*(L + L) = 2*(2L) = 4*L

i dont no if you can find the perimeter of a triagle by using subtration the formula is adding all the up together.
How do you find the perimeter of a rectangle when only the area is given?
You cannot find the perimeter unless the rectangle is a regular rectangle (a square) in which case the perimeter is 4 times the square root of the area. With just the area the shape of the rectangle could be any number of shapes with different perimeter, for example, imagine 6 square units 1cm by 1cm arranged in a 1*6 configuration to give a long thin rectangle, the perimeter would be 6+6+1+1=14cm, the same 6 arranged in a 3*2 rectangle would have the same area, but a perimeter of 3+3+2+2=10cm, for this reason a rectangle's perimeter cannot be determined from the area alone.

Can you use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle to find the perimeter of any squere?
Yes. But using P=4s is easier with a square.
Explain why the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle and the formula for the perimeter of a square are different?
When you think about it for a while, they're really NOT different. The rectangle formula needs a bit more detail, because its sides don't all have the same length, so its length and its width have to be handled separately. But the rectangle formula works perfectly well if you use it to find the perimeter of a square.

How do you find the perimeter of a square or rectangle?
It is the sum of their 4 sides
How do you find the perimeter of a 3d rectangle?
In order to find the perimeter of a 3D rectangle you must gather the lengths of the known sides, calculate the missing rectangular values, and use the formula for perimeter.
The perimeter of a rectangle is 72m the width of the rectangle is 16m what is the area of the rectangle?
To find the area of a rectangle, you need to know the formula: Area = length x width. Given that the perimeter is 72m and the width is 16m, we can calculate the length by using the formula for perimeter of a rectangle: Perimeter = 2(length + width). Substituting the values we have, 72 = 2(length + 16), which simplifies to length + 16 = 36. Therefore, the length of the rectangle is 20m. Finally, the area of the rectangle is 20m x 16m = 320 square meters.
The length of a rectangle is twice its width the perimeter of the rectangle is 42ft find the area?
98 square feet
What is the formula to find the length of a rectangle when the perimeter and width is already given?
Length = (Perimeter - twice width) / 2
