Look at a square that is 12 inches by 12 inches. To get the perimeter, you just add up the length of all 4 sides (12 + 12 + 12 + 12) to get 48 inches. However, to get the area, you multiply the length by the width (12*12), which is expressed in squared inches: 144 in2. As you can see, 144 is much bigger than 48, so no, there is no problem at all.

What is the greatest perimeter of a rectangle with an area of 39 square feet?

Area 39*1=39 perimeter 39+39+1+1=80 * * * * * Wrong! What about 0.1 * 390 which has an area of 0.1*390 = 39, as required but a perimeter of 0.0 + 0.1 + 390 + 390 = 780.2 Or 0.01 * 3900 with a perimeter of 7800.02 or 0.001 * 39000 with a perimeter of 78000.002 In fact, unless the question specifies that the sides MUST have integer measures, there is no limit. And the question does not make that requirement.

Why are the units of perimeter and area different?

Because 'perimeter' is a length, and area is an area. Perimeter is the distance around the edges of a sheet of paper, while area is the part of a table-top that the sheet of paper can cover. You can never say how many square feet tall you are, and you can never say how many feet your front yard covers. That would be swapping the units of length and area, and using each unit for the wrong type of quantity.
