The area of a polygon is the area inside, where the perimeter is the area outside.
An Example of a flower bed
the area tells you how many flowers you can plant.
the perimeter tells you how much fence to buy to keep the rabbits out.
The area of any n-gon is
A=1/4 n*a^2 cot (pi/n)
Where:
A= Area
N=# of Sides (5)
a=first side length (1)
cot= cotangent.

What is the difference between finding the perimeter of a polygon and finding the area of a polygon?
Finding the perimeter of a polygon is finding how far it is in total along all the edges of the polygon; whereas finding the area of a polygon is finding how much space the polygon covers. The perimeter of a polygon forms the boundary around the area of the polygon.
What is the different between the perimeter and the area of a polygon?
Area you multiply 2 sides and perimeter you add all the sides together.
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.
What measurement does a polygon have?
A polygon has lengths, angles, a perimeter and area.
What is the formula for finding the area of a regular polygon with perimeter P and apothegm length a?
Area of regular polygon: 0.5*apothem*perimeter
What is the perimeter of a polygon with the area of 7?
If you restrict yourself to integers, the perimeter of a four-sided polygon is 16.
How do you find the perimeter of a regular polygon with the apothem and area?
Perimeter = 2*Area/Apothem.
The what of a polygon is the distance around the polygon?
the perimeter. the space inside is the area
What is the difference between the perimeter and the area of a polygon?
Perimeter is the distance around the outside. Area is the space inside. By multiplying length times width The area is found. Perimeter is the sum of sides The distance all around.
What is the difference between perimeter and area of polygon?
perimeter is the measure around the figure; area is the measure within the figure formula: perimeter: length+length+width+width=perimeter (for square or rectangle) area: length times width= area ( for square or rectangle)
Does a polygon with a greater area always have a greater perimeter?
No it depends on the size of the polygon
True Or False Is The perimeter of a polygon is the number of square units contained in its interior?
The perimeter of a polygon is not generally equal to the number of square units contained in its interior, which is the definition of the area of the polygon, not of its perimeter. By coincidence, the area and perimeter of a square four units on each side have the same magnitude, 16, but the perimeter is 16 units and the area is 16 square units .
