Ok, an important part of this is that shapes can be categorized into multiple groups.
It goes something like this in this case: Quadrilateral
V
Rectangle
V
Square
When dealing with shapes, regular polygons always have less perimeter than irregular for the same area. Here, a square would have a perimeter of 16, with 4x4 dimensions; the next closest rectangle would have a perimeter of 20, with dimensions of 8x2; the last rectangle you could make would have a perimeter of 34, with dimensions of 16x1.

What was the dimensions of the first space shuttle to go into space?
the dimensions of the first space shuttle were what ever the dimensions of them are how every were made so if you have a problem with it deal with it
What is the importance of dimensioning?
To solve problems it is important that the dimensions of the answer are those that are input to the problem. In Engineering the dimensions of an item are important so that it withstands the loads it is subject to.
The volume of this rectangular prism is 5x3. What does the coefficient 5 mean in terms of the problem?
I hope this helps
Explain why the formula for finding the surface area of a rectangular prism is helpful?
It is helpful because when you do the problem you know what to do.
How do you calculate a mass volume problem?
it depends on what it is. cube=side^3,rectangular prism=length*width*height
A motorboat has a mass of 2300 kg and is floating in a lake the boat has a rectangular bottom with a length of 3 meters and a width of 2 meters what mass of water will be displaced by the boat?
2300 kg. The size and shape of the boat is irrelevant for this problem.
How many coordinate systems are there in Physics?
As many as you like. Coordinate systems are arbitrary frameworks used to describe the system configuration (arrangement). The popular coordinate systems are rectangular, polar and spherical. Coordinate systems are not the same as dimensions. A physical problem may have only one dimension and can be described in a three dimensional rectangular coordinate system. Physics since Einstein is believed to be 4 dimensional. A 4 dimensional coordinate system like quaternions would seem to be convenient.
What does the word array mean in math?
An array is a set of numbers that form some sort of regular arrangement. A linear array is a 1-dimensional array consisting of a row or a column of a set of numbers. A 2-dimensional array is a rectangular arrangement of numbers. And there are arrays with higher dimensions. The elements of an array need not be numbers: they could be variables, functions or expressions. In other words, it's a picture to describe a multiplication problem.
A cow is tied with a rope of length 10m at one of the corners of a rectangular field 40m.30m . The area of land grazed by the cow is?
The dimensions of the field are not used in solving this problem except to assure that they are longer than the length of rope. The question is solved by realizing that the cow will have access to a quarter circle and solving for this area. In this case, the answer is 78.54 square meters.
What surface area of a rectangular prism with 4 and 8 in?
The answer is 32 you find the answer by simply multiplying 8*4. Hope this helps your problem!
What is black model approach?
it is a solution to a word problem that uses rectangles ,strips, bars and rectangular regions called models to make the solver visualize concepts or even manipulate problem situations
What are the dimesions of the first space shuttle?
the dimensions of the first space shuttle are what they are that is the way that they were made so if you have a problem wiht that deal with it
