Rectangle Geometric Shape

l = length
w = width
a = area
p = perimeter |
Rectangle Formulas:
If you know any 2 values for the rectangle (length, width, area or perimeter) you can calculate the other 2 rectangle unknowns. A square calculation is a special case of the rectangle where the length is equal to the width.
Area of a rectangle:
a = l * w
Perimeter of a rectangle:
p = 2l + 2w
Rectangle Calculations
- Given the length and width find the area and perimeter
l and w are known; find a and p
- Given the area and length find the width and perimeter
a and l are known; find w and p
- Given the perimeter and length find the width and area
p and l are known; find w and a
