Example Question #58 : Solve Real World And Mathematical Problems Involving Area: Ccss.Math.Content.3.Md.C.7b
What is the area of the rectangle?
The formula to find area is . We are given the length and the width from the problem, so we can plug those values into our equation and solve.
*Area is the number of square units inside a shape, which is why area is always written with square units.

Example Question #351 : Quadrilaterals
What is the perimeter of a square if one side is 5?
All sides of a square are equal, so if one side is equal to 5, each of the sides is equal to 5. A square has 4 sides. We make the following equation for the perimeter.
Example Question #352 : Quadrilaterals
What is the perimeter of a rectangle that has a length of 10 and a width of 4?
This rectangle has two sides that are equal to 10, and two sides that are equal to 4. The perimeter is equal to .
The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is , or .
Example Question #353 : Quadrilaterals
Let represent the length of a rectangle. What is the perimeter when the width is less than the length?
The formula for finding the perimeter of a rectangle is , or times the length plus times the width. We get the same result just adding all the sides together. If the length is , then the width is . Plugging this information into the formula, we get . Expand this by multiplying times and times to get . Then simplify by adding to get .
Example Question #354 : Quadrilaterals
If a rectangle has a length that is equal to 10 inches, and a width that is equal to one fifth of the length, then what is the perimeter?
If a rectangle has a length that is equal to 10 inches, and a width that is equal to one fifth of the length, then the width will equal .
The perimeter is equal to
Example Question #121 : Rectangles
Daniel found the perimeter of the rectangle below to be 28 meters.
What is the length of the missing side of the rectangle?
5 meters
8 meters
7 meters
6 meters
6 meters
The perimeter of a rectangle can be found using the formulat 2w + 2l = P. In other words, twice the width plus twice the length equals the perimeter.
Start by finding the length of the given sides. In this case, 8+8 = 16 meters.
Subtract this value from the perimeter of the rectangle: 28 - 16 = 12.
The two remaining sides, each X meters long, must add up to 12 meters. Because opposite sides in a rectangle are the same length, X = 6 meters.
Example Question #122 : Rectangles
Erica measured the sides of a rectangle and found the values below.
What is the perimeter of the rectangle?
26 meters
25 meters
28 meters
13 meters
24 meters
26 meters
The perimeter of a rectangle can be found by adding up all of the sides of the figure. We know that opposite sides of a rectangle have the same length, so the equation to add up all four sides should look like 5+5+8+8 = P. The perimeter is 26 meters.
Example Question #1 : Find Perimeter Or Missing Side Lengths Of Polygons: Ccss.Math.Content.3.Md.D.8
What is the perimeter of the rectangle below?
The formula for perimeter of a rectangle is
To solve for the perimeter we can plug our known values into the equation.
