Find the Perimeter of a Rectangle

Find the Perimeter of a Rectangle The sum of all the four sides of a rectangle is called as the perimeter of a rectangle. Perimeter of a rectangle is the total length of the boundary of the rectangle. Rectangle is one of the types of regular quadrilateral. It has four sides. The opposite sides are equal in length. It has four vertices. It has four internal angles which are congruent. There are two diagonals in a rectangle. The length of the diagonals are equal in length. The sum of the internal angles of a rectangle is 360 degree. In this article, we shall see how to find the perimeter of a rectangle. Perimeter of a Rectangle Formula In the above figure, the length of the rectangle is 'l' and the width of the rectangle is 'w'. The formula for perimeter of a rectangle is as follows, Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length + width) units Perimeter (p) =2(l x w) units l Length w Width Know More About Factoring Cubic Polynomials

Example Problems on Perimeter of a Rectangle Below are example problems on perimeter of a rectangle Example 1: Rectangle has the length 15 cm and width 10 cm. solve for perimeter of rectangle. Solution : Length (l) = 15 cm, Width (w) = 10 cm Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l + w) units =2(15 + 10) = 2 (25) = 50 Perimeter of the rectangle = 50 cm Example 2: Rectangle has the length 16 cm and width 11 cm. solve for perimeter of rectangle. Solution : Length (l) = 16 cm, Width (w) = 11 cm

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l + w) units =2(16 + 11) = 2 (27) = 54 Perimeter of the rectangle = 54 cm Example 3: Rectangle has the length 17 cm and width 12 cm. solve for perimeter of rectangle. Solution : Length (l) = 17 cm,Width (w) = 12 cm Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l + w) units Learn More linear equations in two variables

What are Regular Polygons

What are Regular Polygons A regular polygon is a polygon in which all sides are equal in length and also the measure of all the angles are same. Unlike irregular polygon, the area of a regular polygon can be easily calculated with the help of the formula. This is because, the side and sngles of the polygon are of the same measure. In the above polygon, all the sides are of the same length. And, all the angles are of the same measure. And so, the polygon is referred to as a regular polygon. Area of a Regular Polygon There are a number of area of a regular polygon formulas as shown below. In regular polygons all the sides are equal in length. And so, even if the length of one side is given, we can calculate the area of a regular polygon with the help of the following formula, AREA = S2 N / 4 tan ( / N ) S - length of any one side N - No. of sides of a regular polygon If the radius of a regular polygon is given, we can find the area of the polygon with the help of the following formula

AREA = [R2 N sin ( 2 / N ) ] / 2 R - radius of a regular polygon N - No. of sides of a regular polygon If the Apothem of a regular polygon is given, we can find the area with the help of the following formula, AREA = A2 N tan ( / N ) A - Length of the apothem N - No. of sides of a regular polygon If the apothem and the side length are given, we can find the area by first calculating the perimeter by multiplying the side length by N and then using the formula given below, AREA = AP / 2 A - Length of the apothem P - perimeter Area of a Regular Polygon Example Problems Given below are some of the examples to find the area of a regular polygon Example 1: Find the area of the square , whose one of the side measures 4cm in length Solution : Square is a regular polygon whose all the sides are equal . Thus we can find the area of the square using the formula given below Area = S2 N / 4 tan (/N) = 42 * 4 / 4 tan (/4) = 16*4 / 4*1 because tan (/4) = 1 = 64/4 = 16cm2
