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.

How do you find surface area when you have base perimeter height and area of the base?

To find the surface area of a three-dimensional object, such as a prism or a pyramid, you can use the formula: Surface Area = Base Area + (Perimeter of the Base × Height). Start by calculating the area of the base, which you already have. Then, multiply the perimeter of the base by the height and add that to the base area to get the total surface area.
