No.  The area doesn't tell you the dimensions, and you need
the dimensions if you want the perimeter.

If you know the area, you only know the <em><u>product</u></em> of the length and width,
but you don't know what either of them is.

In fact, you can draw an infinite number of <em><u>different</u></em> rectangles
that all have the <em>same</em> area but <em><u>different</u></em> perimeters.

Here.  Look at this.
I tell you that a rectangle's area is 256.  What is its perimeter ?

-- If the rectangle is 16 by 16, then its perimeter is 64 .
-- If the rectangle is 8 by 32, then its perimeter is 80 .
-- If the rectangle is 4 by 64, then its perimeter is 136 .
-- If the rectangle is 2 by 128, then its perimeter is 260 .
-- If the rectangle is 1 by 256, then its perimeter is 514 .
-- If the rectangle is 0.01 by 25,600 then its perimeter is 51,200.02

Because of the correlation of its width and length. In a rectangle length are equal, the same for the width.

What is the magnitude (size) of 6.8?
lidiya [134]

Answer:

C. 6.8, because |6.8|= 6.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The magnitude of a directed number is a property that turns the number to a positive of its value. Thus, the magnitude of a negative number equals its positive value. Examples:

Find the magnitude of the following numbers:

i. -20

ii. 10

iii. -5

iv. 2

The magnitudes of the numbers can be expressed as:

i. |-20| = 20

ii. |10| = 10

iii. |-5| = 5

iv. |2| = 2

Therefore, the magnitude of 6.8 = 6.8, because |6.8|= 6.8.
