Example Question #11 : Rectangles
Rectangle ABCD has an area of 
The area of a rectangle is found by multiplying the length times the width. The question tells you the width is 
Thus the length is 8. 
To find the perimeter you add up all of the sides.
Example Question #5 : How To Find The Perimeter Of The Rectangle
If the perimeter of a rectangle is 
The perimeter of a rectangle is represented by the following formula, in which W represents width and L represents length:
Given that the width is 
Next, subtract 
Now, divide each side by 
This gives us
Example Question #42 : Quadrilaterals
A rectangle has an area of 
Since each side is a whole number, first find the whole number factors of 
Example Question #43 : Quadrilaterals
Give the perimeter of the above rectangle in centimeters, using the conversion factor 
The perimeter of the rectangle is 
Example Question #44 : Quadrilaterals
Find the perimeter of the rectangle shown below
The perimeter of a rectangle, or any shape, is the distance around the outside. You add up the length of each side to find this number. The coordinates of the points are 
Example Question #1 : How To Find The Area Of A Rectangle
Steve's bedroom measures 20' by 18' by 8' high. He wants to paint the ceiling and all four walls using a paint that gets 360 square feet of coverage per gallon. A one-gallon can of the paint Steve wants costs $36.00; a one-quart can costs $13.00. What is the least amount of money that Steve can expect to spend on paint in order to paint his room?
Two of the walls have area 
Therefore, the total area Steve wants to cover is
Divide 968 by 360 to get the number of gallons Steve needs to paint his bedroom:
Since 
The first option will cost him

Example Question #242 : Geometry
Give the surface area of the above box in square centimeters.
100 centimeters make one meter, so convert each of the dimensions of the box by multiplying by 100.
Use the surface area formula, substituting 
Example Question #1 : How To Find The Area Of A Rectangle
Above is a figure that comprises a red square and a white rectangle. The ratio of the length of the white rectangle to the sidelength of the square is 
To make this easier, we will assume that the rectangle has length 5 and the square has sidelength 3. Then the area of the entire figure is
and the area of the square is
The square, therefore, takes up
of the entire figure.
