That is the area. The perimeter is the measure around something, and it is relevant, among other things, to know how much Fencing you need for a lot.
Niether; It's surface area.
Perimeter = the distance around the edge of the field; how much fence it takes to enclose the field. Area = how much land-surface the field covers, i.e. how many corn-stalks can be planted on it. ================================= Perimeter: the distance around the edge of the floor in the room. Area: how much carpet it takes to cover the floor.
Some areas will not be carpeted. For example, underneath kitchen units or in the bathroom. These will contribute to the floor area but not the carpet area. On the other hand, the risers of steps may well be carpeted but will not contribute to the floor area.
A perimeter is a linear measurement. An area is the product of two linear measurements, such as length and width. I cannot imagine what you mean by "perimeter area."
If you're planning to carpet, paint, or wax the floor, then you need to know its area. If you're planning to spiff up the appearance of the floor with new baseboard molding, then you don't care about the area, but you need to know its perimeter. If you're planning to put up a fence around your yard, then you need to know its perimeter. If you're planning to plant a whole new lawn in your yard, then you don't care about the perimeter, but you need to know its area. Somebody said : "But if you know one of them, can't you figure out the other one ?" No, you can't in the world of floors and lawns but it is occasionaly possible with geometric figures. A square with a perimeter of 24 units will have to have an area of 36 square units and a square with an area of 25 square units will have to have a perimeter of 20 units.

It is area, not perimeter!
The carpet area is the area of floor which is, or is to be, carpeted.
Perimeter = the distance around the edge of the field; how much fence it takes to enclose the field. Area = how much land-surface the field covers, i.e. how many corn-stalks can be planted on it. ================================= Perimeter: the distance around the edge of the floor in the room. Area: how much carpet it takes to cover the floor.
A fitted carpet means that the carpet covers the whole of the floor area. An underlay may be laid first and the carpet laid on top. The carpet is not attached to the floor.
The floor's area is: 1,296 square feet.
The area of the floor is 1296 square feet.
The floor.
the p/a ratio is the sum of the perimeter divided by the area therefore if perimeter is 20m and the area 25m2 the sum is 20/25=0.8
