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.
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 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).
