Example Question #581 : Geometry
Use the following rectangle to answer the question:
Find the perimeter.
To find the perimeter of a rectangle, we will use the following formula:
Where a, b, c, and d are the lengths of the sides of the rectangle.
Now, let's look at the rectangle.
We can see the length is 6in. Because it is a rectangle, the opposite side is also 6in.
We can also see the width of the rectangle is 3in. Because it is a rectangle, the opposite side is also 3in.
Knowing this, we can substitute into the formula. We get
Example Question #581 : Plane Geometry
Use the following rectangle to solve the problem:
Find the perimeter.
To find the perimeter of a rectangle, we will use the following formula:
Where a, b, c, and d are the lengths of the sides of the rectangle.
Now, given the rectangle
we can see the length is 11in. Because it is a rectangle, the opposite side is also 11in.
The width is 5in. Because it is a rectangle, the opposite side is also 5in.
So, we can substitute.
Example Question #582 : Geometry
What is the width of the rectangle if the perimeter is and the length is ?
The formula for perimeter of a rectangle is
To solve for the width we can plug our known values into the equation.
Subtract from both sides
Divide by both sides
Example Question #81 : Apply Area And Perimeter Formulas For Rectangles: Ccss.Math.Content.4.Md.A.3
What is the length of a room with a perimeter of and a width of
We have the perimeter and the width, so we can plug those values into our equation and solve for our unknown.
Subtract from both sides
Divide by both sides
Example Question #5741 : Ssat Elementary Level Quantitative (Math)
Emily is digging a garden in her backyard that is meters long and meters wide. What is the perimeter of her garden?
The formula for perimeter of a rectangle is
To solve for the perimeter we can plug our known values into the equation.
Example Question #71 : Quadrilaterals
Angela has a garden that she wants to put a fence around. How much fencing will she need if her garden is by
The fence is going around the garden, so this is a perimeter problem.
Example Question #201 : Quadrilaterals
David wants to put a fence around a garden in his backyard. How much fencing will he need if his garden is by
The fence is going around the backyard, so this is a perimeter problem.
Example Question #581 : Plane Geometry
The altitude of a triangle is given as , and its base as . What is the area of the triangle?
The area of a triangle is given by .
altitude

Therefore:
Area
Example Question #1 : Triangles
What is the area of a triangle with a base of 11 and a height of 4?
6
60
22
14
44
22
The formula to find the area of a triangle is . First, we should multiply 11 (base) x 4 (height), to get a total of 44. Next, we need to divide 44 by 2, which gives us a total area of 22.
Example Question #2 : How To Find The Area Of A Triangle
You can find the area of a triangle if you know ___________.
the perimeter
its angles
two side lengths
the height and base
the height and base
