Answer: Yes. A polygon can have the same perimeter length but smaller area than another polygon.
Answer: For congruent or similar shapes, no. For different shapes, yes. Consider, for example, a rectangle 3 x 1, and another rectangle 2 x 2. They have different areas, but the same perimeter.

How are area and perimeter different from each other?
The perimeter is the outside of a shape and the area is the inside of it
Why can you have a shape with different perimeters but the same area?
they are different because perimeter is the out side of the shape and area is inside of the shape.
Is it possible to have a shape with the perimeter 15 and area 13?
Yes.
Is it possible to have a shape of an perimeter of 12cm and an area of 4 cm2?
no
Is it possible to have a shape with a perimeter of 20 and an area of 18?
Yes.
What shape has the same area but a different perimeter?
a square
Can a shape have the same area but not perimeter?
Most shapes have different perimeter than area, as far as value.
Why isn't it possible to make a shape with 18 area and 20 perimeter?
Actually it is possible.
Is it possible to make a shape with an area of 9 and a perimeter of 14?
Yes.
What is the relationship for perimeter and area for rectangle?
There is no relationship between the perimeter and area of a rectangle. Knowing the perimeter, it's not possible to find the area. If you pick a number for the perimeter, there are an infinite number of rectangles with different areas that all have that perimeter. Knowing the area, it's not possible to find the perimeter.

How do you do area and perimeter?
It depends on what the shape is and what information you have about it. There are many different formulae.
How do you work out perimeter and area?
It is different for each shape. A perimeter is the distance around an object and the area is the square units it takes up.
