What instrument would you use to find areas?

Same instrument as you would use for a line or perimeter (ruler, measuring tape, etc.). However, you multiply width times length for rectangles and more complicated methods for other 2D shapes. If it's a 3D shape, for cubes/rectangular prisms you multiply length times width time height, and more complicated formulas for other shapes.

How do you 'find the ratio of its length to its perimeter?

To find the ratio of the length of a shape to its perimeter, you would divide the length by the perimeter. For example, if the length of a rectangle is 4 units and its perimeter is 12 units, the ratio would be 4/12 or 1/3. This ratio represents the proportion of the length to the total distance around the shape.
