You square-root the area
Why is area and perimeter useful?
When you are buying a house you will want to know how much you land you have (area) and you will also want know how much fencing you need for you garden (perimeter).

You can't. The perimeter doesn't tell the area. There are an infinite number of shapes with different dimensions and different areas that all have the same perimeter.
How do you know that area is this and perimeter is that?
You know because the area is the distance inside a polygon and a perimeter is the distance outside a polygon.
Can you calculate the area if you know the perimeter?
No, you can not calculate an area if you know just the perimeter. For example, rectangle with sides of 10 and 20 would have a perimeter of 60 and an area of 200, but a square of sides 15 would have a perimeter of 60 and an area of 225. You need to know more details about the shape than just the perimeter.

Is it true that you can't find the perimeter if you don't know the area?
Not exactly. If I know the side lengths, I can still find the perimeter

no
