The perimeter of something is just the length around it, so any unit of length could be used. For example, millimetres, centimetres, metres, kilometres, inches, feet, yards, rods, chains, furlongs, miles...!

Why do you use linear units for perimeter and square unints for area?

Linear units are used for perimeter because perimeter measures the total length around a shape, which is a one-dimensional measurement. In contrast, area measures the extent of a surface in two dimensions, requiring the multiplication of two linear measurements (length and width), resulting in square units. This distinction helps accurately represent the different dimensions involved in each measurement.

What is the perimeter of 575 square units?

You can't tell. The area doesn't tell you the dimensions. There are an infinite number of different shapes with different dimensions and different perimeters that all have the same area. -- If the 575 square units of area are in the shape of a circle, then the radius of the circle is 13.53 units and the perimeter (circumference) is 85 units. (rounded) -- If the 575 square units of area are in the shape of a square, then each side of the square is 23.98 units and the perimeter is 95.92 units. (rounded) -- The 575 square units of area could also be a (23 x 25) rectangle, with perimeter of 96. -- The 575 square units of area could also be a (115 x 5) rectangle, with perimeter of 240. -- The 575 square units of area could also be a (575 x 1) rectangle, with perimeter of 1,152.
