No. Perimeter does not uniquely define surface area. Example: Perimeter = 36 If it's a square with sides = 9, then area = 92 = 81 If it's a rectangle measuring 12 by 6, then area = 72 If it's a rectangle measuring 15 by 3, then area = 45 If it's a rectangle measuring 16 by 2, then area = 32 etc. etc. etc. Each of these figures has the same perimeter, but they all have different areas.
