You can't tell the perimeter from knowing the area.

There are an infinite number of rectangles with different dimensions that all have the same area.

Here are a few examples.

1 x 176 . . . perimeter = 354

2 x 88 . . . perimeter = 180

4 x 44 . . . perimeter = 96

8 x 22 . . . perimeter = 60

16 x 11 . . . perimeter = 54

13.266 x 13.266 . . . perimeter = 53.066

All of these have an area of 176, but they all have different perimeters.

The last one on the list is a square. That's the rectangle with the shortest possible perimeter

that has the area you want.

The perimeter of this square is 53.066. You can make a rectangle with any perimeter

more than that, and an area of 176.

Is The area of a rectangle always greater than the perimeter?

To answer this simply try a few out for yourself. In a 2x1 cm rectangle, the area is 2 cm squared and the perimeter is 6 cm In a 12x10 rectangle, the area is 120 cm squared and the perimeter is 44 cm. In some cases, the perimeter is larger and in others it is smaller. To answer your question, no, the perimeter of a rectangle is NOT always greater than its area.
