Length + width = half the perimeter, but more info eg area, is needed.

What is the total distance around the rectangle called?
the total distance around the rectangle called is perimeter
What is the total area of the rectangle 8ft 10ft 2ft 2ft?
The dimensions given are not that of a rectangle but are probably that of an isosceles trapezoid in which case it is:- Area = 0.5*(8+10)*2 = 18 square feet
What is the perimeter of a rectangle 4.5m times1.5m?
Perimeter = sum of all sides Sides = 4.5m, 4.5m, 1.5m, 1.5m Total = 12m
What is the length and of a rectangle if the perimeter is 48 feet?
There's no way to tell exactly, but if you limit yourself to integers, the dimensions will total half the perimeter, like 1 x 23 2 x 22 3 x 21 and so on. If it was a square, it would be 12 x 12.
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 would happen to the perimeter if the side lengths of a rectangle are halved?
The perimeter of a rectangle is just the sum of the lengths of its sides, so taking half of each of the sides would make the total half of its original value also.
If the liner dimensions of an object are doubled how much dose the total area increase?
If the linear dimensions of a square or a rectangle are doubled, the area of the object will be quadrupled.
Parameter of rectangle equal parameter of triangle?
I hope you want to know the Perimeter. Perimeter is the total length of the boundary of the region bounded by a shape. For a rectangle it is the sum of the 4 bounding sides, or 2*(L+B), where L is Length of the rectangle and B is Breadth of the rectangle. For a Triangle it is the sum of the 3 sides. If you consider an equilateral triangle. By property the 3 sides of an equilateral triangle are equal. Hence the Perimeter of an equilateral triangle is denoted as; 3*a, where a is the length of one of the sides of the triangle. It is possible that the perimeter of a rectangle is same as that of many different types of triangles. We can formulate a relationship for a special case where the perimeter of a rectangle is equal to the perimeter of an equilateral triangle; P(R) = P(ET), P(R) is perimeter of rectangle and P(EQ) is perimeter of Equilateral triangle. P(R)=2(L*B) = P(EQ) = 3*a; hence, a = (2/3)*(L*B) = P(R)/3. i.e., the sides of the Equilateral triangle are one thirds of the perimeter of the rectangle.
How do you find the semiperimeter of a rectangle?
The perimeter of a rectangle is total length of all 4 sides = 2 x length + 2 x width. The semiperimeter is therefore half this amount = length + width.
Can you find the area of a rectangle that has a perimeter of 169 feet?
Without further information, no, you cannot. The dimensions could be 4.5 x 80 feet, or they could be 42.25 x 42.25 feet, or any of a huge (in fact infinite) list of other combinations, all with a different total area.
How do you get the area and perimeter of a rectangle?
area = base X height if rectangle is 4 inches by 8 inches it the area would be 32 inches perimeter = sum of the length of the 4 sides...so in the rectangle above you have 2 sides at 4 inches and 2 sides at 8 so the total of those 4 sides will be 24 inches
A Norman window has the shape of a semicircle atop a rectangle so that the diameter of the semicircle is equal to the width of the rectangle. What is the area of the largest possible Norman window with a perimeter of 45 feet?
To solve this problem, let's break it down step by step. Let ( r ) be the radius of the semicircle, which is also the width of the rectangle. The perimeter of this figure (Norman window) is given as 45 feet: The perimeter, ( P ), is the sum of the parts: the semicircle's circumference and the perimeter of the rectangle. The semicircle's circumference: ( \pi r ) The perimeter of the rectangle: ( 2r + 2r = 4r ) So, the total perimeter equation is: [ \pi r + 4r = 45 ] This simplifies to: [ \pi r + 4r = 45 ] [ (\pi + 4) r = 45 ] [ r = \frac{45}{\pi + 4} ] Now, we need to find the total area of the figure. The area of the semicircle is: [ \frac{\pi r^2}{2} ] The area of the rectangle is: [ r \times 2r = 2r^2 ] The total area, ( A ), is the sum of these two parts: [ A = \frac{\pi r^2}{2} + 2r^2 ] Substitute the value of ( r ) derived earlier: [ A = \frac{\pi (\frac{45}{\pi + 4})^2}{2} + 2(\frac{45}{\pi + 4})^2 ] Calculating this would give the area of the largest possible Norman window with a perimeter of 45 feet.
