If you know the area of a rectangle can you predict its perimeter? Explain

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.

MODELING WITH MATHEMATICS The fire escape forms a right triangle, as shown. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to approximate the dista
anastassius [24]

Answer:

x = 14.13ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for illustration

Required

Find x

To do this, we apply Pythagoras theorem.

From the attachment, the length of the hypotenuse is 16.7ft

While the length of the opposite/adjacent is 8.9ft

Length x is calculated using:

16.7^2 = 8.9^2 + x^2

x^2 = 16.7^2 - 8.9^2

x^2 = 199.68

Take square roots

x = \sqrt{199.68

x = 14.13ft
