Example Question #711 : High School Math
What is the area of a rectangle with width and length ?
The area of a rectangle is found by multiplying the length times the width.
Example Question #15 : How To Find The Area Of A Rectangle In Pre Algebra
The area of a particular rectangle is . If the length of the rectangle is twice the width, what is the width of the rectangle?
The forumla for the area of a rectangle is Length X Width. Here, that would be Width X 2Width (length). Solving for width, you get
. Dividing by 2 and taking the square root of each side gives us
. Thus, the width of the rectangle is units.
Example Question #16 : How To Find The Area Of A Rectangle In Pre Algebra
A square has a perimeter of . Find the area of the square.
The formula for the perimeter of a square is ( = side length of the square).
If the perimeter is , then the side length is .
Then, to find the area of the square, square the side length ()
Thus, the area of the square is .
Example Question #1 : Isosceles Triangles
One side of an acute isosceles triangle is 15 feet. Another side is 5 feet. What is the perimeter of the triangle in feet?
Because this is an acute isosceles triangle, the third side must be the same as the longer of the sides that you were given. To find the perimeter, multiply the longer side by 2 and add the shorter side.
