the preimeter is 44 and im trying to find the area of a square. To the side of the square the measurement is 10.

how do i find the perimeter when the area equals 96 yd2 of a rectangle. To the side of the rectangel the measure ment is 12yd and the base is the letter b?

If the perimeter is 44 and one side is 10, the figure must be a rectangle, not a square.
Let the unknown side be length x.
Then:
2(x + 10) = 44
Dividing by 2:
x + 10 = 22
Subtracting 10:
x = 12.
The area is the product of the lengths of the two unequal sides.
That is 10*12 = 120.

2.
If the base is b yd., and the adjacent side is 12yd, then the area 96yd^2 satisfies:
12*b = 96
Dividing by 12:
b = 96/12 = 8.
The side labelled b is 8yd.

Your first question has some contradictory information. Squares have four sides of equal length. If one side of a square measures 10 units in length, then so do the other three. Perimeter is the length around the shape, so the perimeter of the square would be:
10+10+10+10 = 40, not 44.

I think that you have a RECTANGLE, not a square. Its perimeter is 44, so

length + width + length + width = 44
length + 10 + length + 10 = 44
length + length = 24
length = 12

The area of a rectangle is found by multiplying the length times the width:
A = 12 * 10
A = 120




In your second question, the length of the rectangle is 12 yd, and its area is 96 yd^2, so

A = length * width
96 yd^2 = 12 yd * width
(96 yd^2)/(12 yd) = (12 yd * width)/(12 yd)
8 yd = width

Then
P = 12 yd + 8 yd +12 yd + 8 yd
P = 40 yd

I hope that all of this is clear!

well, I think that maybe there was a typo on the first problem, because you would have to divide the perimeter by 4 to find the side of a square... and that would be 11, not 10. If you use 11, the area of the square is 121.

for the second question, you would use a=bh which would be 96=12b and that means b=8. Plug it back into the perimeter formula p=2L+2W p=2(12)+2(8) p=24+16 p=40

ok
L times W= area L is length and W is width. So you would do 10 times 10 but that makes no sence because to find perimeter you would add all the sides so it should be 40 and i think you would do 2x+2y= permeter for a rectsangle so the area is 96 so what times what equals 96. 96 divided by 12 is 8 so 2 times 12 plus 2 times 8 that would be 24 plus 16 so 40 would be perimeter and i how you are young because im 13 and this is ez and i sux at math

Area = LxW
If the perimeter is 44, then L is 10 and W is 12, your area is 120.

2nd question: 96/12=b =8
perimiter is the sum of all sides so 8+8+12+12=40

If the perimeter is 44 then the side is 44/4 = 11, not 10.
The area is 11² = 121 un²

I actually don't even know what you're asking exactly. Copy the problems down correctly.

If it is a square then the measurement cannot be 10 if the perimeter is 44.
Area= length X width
If perimeter is 44, then each side is 11.
Area= 121

I may be wrong, but that is my understanding????

You have stated an impossibility that 11=10. <-- 1st problem

The dimensions of the rectangle must be 12 *8 = 96 yds ^2
So the perimeter is 2*12+2*8 = 40 yds

Either the perimeter equals 44
or
the side of the square is 10
but not both.

With a sq. each area is comparable to all the different facets, so if one area is 3x+4 all the different facets are equivalent to 3x+4. because of the undeniable fact that's a sq. you could purely multiply via 4 to get the respond, which for that reason is 12x+sixteen.
