What formula could be use to show the perimeter of a rectangle in algebra?

The perimeter of a shape is the sum of all sides, so a generic formula would be P=s1 + s2 + s3 + s4, where s1 is "side 1", etc.
However, a rectangle can be described by its length (L) and width (W). Two of its sides are of L and two are W. The perimeter is P=2L + 2W.

What could the perimeter of a rectangle be if the area is 22cm2?
26 cm
What is a common perimeter of a rectangle?
The perimeter of a rectanble is the length of all it's sides. So it depends on the size of the rectangle, it could be millimetres or miles long or wide.
A rectangle with the same area and perimeter?
Would be congruent.It doesn't have to be a rectangle, though.It could be any shape.
What is the perimeter of a rectangle has an area of 5cm square?
The perimeter of a rectangle cannot be determined with the area alone as the lengths could vary. For example, the perimeter of the rectangle could be 12 (1 and 5) or 9 (2 and 2.5). For both cases, the area is still 5cm2, but the length can still change to result in different results.
How do you show the circumference of a rectangle with an area of 24?
I thought circumference is only with circles Absolutely correct, but even if you consider the perimeter, which is conceptually similar, there is no answer. A rectangle with an area of 24 could be 4*6 with a perimeter of 20 or it could be 1*24 with a perimeter of 50 or 0.5*48 with a perimeter of 97 etc
How can you make a rectangle with a perimeter of 12 units?
You can make a perimeter with side lengths if 3, 3, 3, 3 or you could do a rectangle with side lengths of 4, 4, 2, 2. Finally you could do a rectangle with side lengths of 5, 5, 1, 1.
What is the perimeter of the rectangle that is 0.9 square units?
There is no single answer to that The rectangle could be 0.9 by 1, giving a perimeter of 2x(0.9+1)=3.8 Or it could be 0.45 by 2, giving it a perimeter of 2x(0.45+2)=4.9 The minimum perimeter is when it is a square. The square root of 0.9 is approx 0.94868, so the perimeter would be approx 3.7947
Length of rectangle is 3 times as great as its width. if the perimeter of the rectangle is no more than 72 cm. What is the length of the rectangle?
The length could be 3 cm (width = 1 cm), with a perimeter of 8 cm, which is not more than 72 cm. Or it could be 6 cm (w = 2 cm, perimeter = 16 cm).
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.
A rectangle has an area of 36 square meters What is the measurement of its perimeter?
If it was a square, which is a rectangle, the perimeter would be 24 meters . But it was a regular rectangle than it could be a few things actually , one of them would be 26 meters . Another would be 40 meters I think .
How do you calculate the dimensions of a rectangle if you know the perimeter and the length?
A rectangle by definition has two pairs of sides with equal length. Since perimeter equals the length of all the sides. The equation for the perimeter of a rectangle could be thought of as: 2L + 2W = P Where L represents the length of one side of the rectangle and W represents the length of the adjacent (next to) side of the rectangle. If you know the length of one side and the perimeter, plug those values in as L and P and then solve for W. That will give you L and W which are the dimensions of the rectangle.
How two parallelograms could have the same area but different perimeters?
yes, for example:a 4 by 5 rectangle has an area of 20 and a perimeter of 18a 2 by 7 rectangle has an area of 14 and a perimeter of 18yes, for example:
