You cannot really compare whether the area or perimeter is bigger, since they have different units. If you want to compare which one is numerically bigger, that depends primarily on what units you are using, as well as the magnitude of the lengths.

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 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
How do you find the Perimeter of a polygon with only the area?
Different polygons have different relationships between perimeter and area. For example, if we assume regular polygons, an equilateral triangle and a square have different perimeters for the same area. If you allow irregular polygons, the variety is even bigger.

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.
When is area bigger than perimeter?
It depends on the shape. Different conditions will apply for a circle, a polygon with n sides.
Is the perimeter of a polygon less than the area of the polygon?
if your perimeter totals the same as 4 times pi then the maximum area that can be encompassed is equal to the perimeter. This is done by forming a circle. if you change the shape of the circle then the area will become smaller than the perimeter(circumference) if you make the circumference of the circle smaller then you will definitely decrease the area faster than you would the perimeter if you make the perimeter bigger then you will definitely increase the area faster than you would the perimeter.
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
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 .
How do you find the Perimeter of a polygon with only the area?
Different polygons have different relationships between perimeter and area. For example, if we assume regular polygons, an equilateral triangle and a square have different perimeters for the same area. If you allow irregular polygons, the variety is even bigger.
