The rectangle covers 40 cm² and its boundary is 26 cm long.

The rectangle, to scale

l = 8 cmw = 5 cm
Cómo se calcula S

  1. Área

    A=l×w=8×5=40 cm2A = l \times w = 8 \times 5 = 40\,\text{cm}^{2}

  2. Perímetro

    P=2(l+w)=2(8+5)=26 cmP = 2(l + w) = 2(8 + 5) = 26\,\text{cm}

  3. Diagonal

    d=l2+w2=82+52=9.433981 cmd = \sqrt{l^2 + w^2} = \sqrt{8^2 + 5^2} = 9.433981\,\text{cm}

Acerca de Área y perímetro de figuras planas

Choose one of 15 plane shapes and enter the dimensions that define it. The area and perimeter come back with the other lengths that shape has: diagonals, heights, arc and chord lengths, a regular polygon's apothem and circumradius, or a ring's width. A triangle from three sides uses Heron's formula, A = √(s(s − a)(s − b)(s − c)) with s half the perimeter, and a regular polygon uses A = ns²/(4 tan(180°/n)).

The default rectangle, 8 cm by 5 cm, has an area of 40 cm², a perimeter of 26 cm and a diagonal of 9.434 cm. Area sizes flooring, turf and paint; perimeter sizes fencing, edging and skirting board. The drawing is to scale, so a mistyped dimension shows up as the wrong shape.

Base and height do not fix a triangle's slanted sides, and a trapezoid needs its legs, so those two inputs give area only. An ellipse's perimeter has no closed form; Ramanujan's second approximation is used, accurate to 0.04% or better.

Preguntas

How do you find the area of a trapezoid?

Average the two parallel sides and multiply by the perpendicular height: A = (a + b)/2 × h. Bases of 10 cm and 4 cm with a height of 4 cm give 7 × 4 = 28 cm². British English calls this shape a trapezium; the formula is the same. The perimeter also needs the two slanted legs: legs of 5 cm each make it 24 cm.

How do you find the area of a triangle from three sides?

Use Heron's formula. Take the semi-perimeter s = (a + b + c)/2, then A = √(s(s − a)(s − b)(s − c)). Sides of 5, 6 and 7 cm give s = 9 and A = √(9 × 4 × 3 × 2) = √216 ≈ 14.697 cm². Three lengths only make a triangle if each is shorter than the other two combined, so 3, 4 and 8 have no area.

What is the area of a regular hexagon?

A = (3√3/2)s², about 2.598 times the side squared. A hexagon with 5 cm sides covers 64.952 cm², and one with 2 m sides covers 10.392 m². Any regular polygon with n sides of length s has A = ns²/(4 tan(180°/n)). A hexagon's circumradius equals its side, and its apothem is s√3/2 ≈ 0.866s.

Is there a formula for the perimeter of an ellipse?

Not an exact one in elementary functions: the exact perimeter is a complete elliptic integral. Ramanujan's 1914 approximation, P ≈ π(a + b)(1 + 3h/(10 + √(4 − 3h))) with h = (a − b)²/(a + b)², is off by at most 0.04%, reached only as the ellipse flattens into a line. For semi-axes of 10 and 6 it gives 51.0539977, within 1.2 × 10⁻⁹ of the exact value.

How do you convert square feet to square metres?

Multiply by 0.09290304, the square of the international foot (0.3048 m exactly, fixed in 1959). One square metre is about 10.764 ft². A 12 ft × 10 ft room is 120 ft², or 11.148 m². Area scales with the square of the length unit, so converting each side first and then multiplying gives the same result.

¿Qué precisión tiene «Área y perímetro de figuras planas»?

La precisión depende de tus datos y de los supuestos del método. El cálculo decimal usa 50 cifras significativas, pero las estimaciones, los métodos numéricos y los datos de origen pueden ser menos precisos; el redondeo mostrado no elimina esos límites. Ejemplos resueltos comprobados con fuentes independientes: 16. Por ejemplo, «Rectangle 8 × 5 cm» se comprueba con 8 × 5, 2(8 + 5); Python 3.8 math.sqrt(89).
