The perimeter of a shape is the distance around the outside, for instance, the length of all the sides of a square added together.
The area however, is the amount of space within the shape, for example, to find the area of a square, you would simply multiply the length of the side by length of the side.

How do you find the area when knowing the perimeter of a shape?
The perimeter has nothing to do with the area you have to times the width times height times length and that will give you the area of the shape
The distance around a shape is called?
It is called perimeter.
What is the relation between perimeter and triangle area?
If you double (2 times) the perimeter the area will will be 4 times larger. Therefore the area is proportional to the square of the perimeter or the perimeter is proportional to the square root of area. The relationship as shown above applies only to triangles with similar proportions, that is when you scale up or down any triangle of fixed proportions. Other than that requirement, there is no relationship between perimeter and area of any shape of triangle except that it can be stated that the area will be maximum when the sides are of equal length (sides = 1/3 of perimeter).
With the same perimeter which shape will have largest area?
A circle.
What shape has a area of 6 and a perimeter of 12?
Nothing
What is the difference between the perimeter of and the area of?
The perimeter is a measurement of the distance around the outline of a shape. The area is the measurement of all the space within the shape, and it is measured as (unit) 2
What is a perimieter?
perimeter is when you have a shape and then you have your area and that is what is in the middle of the shape and perimeter is the edge of the shape.
Difference between area and perimeter and volume?
Area is a 2-dimensional measure. Perimeter is 1-dimensional and volume is 3-dimensional.
Is perimeter and area the same?
No , perimeter is the measurement outside of the shape; the border. Area is the measurement of inside of the shape.
What is the shape for a figure to have a perimeter of 20 and an area of 18?
Perimeter and area are not sufficient to determine the shape of a figure.
Explain the difference between area and perimeter?
The area is the inside of the shape. so the certain amount of space in the object Perimeter is the distance on the out side of a object i.e. if a square has sides 3 inches long. the area would be 9inches (3*3) the Perimeter would be 12 (3+3+3+3)
What is the the difference between a polygon and perimeter?
A polygon is a closed plane figure that is bound by at least three straight sides. Perimeter is the total lengths of the sides of a shape. They are different because a polygon refers to the shape, and perimeter refers to the distance around a shape. The perimeter refers to the path traveled around the outside of some area. All polygons have a perimeter. Shapes that are not polygons also have a perimeter -- such as circles, semicircles, and the shapes of most letters.
What is area an perimeter?
Area is the amount of square units in a 2-D shape, and perimeter is the distance around a shape
If you remove a square from the area of a shape will its perimeter get smaller?
No, the area will get smaller, not the perimeter.
How are area and perimeter different from each other?
The perimeter is the outside of a shape and the area is the inside of it
What is the difference between perimeter and area of polygon?
perimeter is the measure around the figure; area is the measure within the figure formula: perimeter: length+length+width+width=perimeter (for square or rectangle) area: length times width= area ( for square or rectangle)
Is the perimeter the inside of a shape or the outside?
Perimeter is the outside. The area is the inside of a shape.
