The fewer the number of sides that a polygon has, the higher the surface area to volume ratio. This increases until the polygon has an infinite number of sides, or has become a perfect sphere, when the ratio is the smallest.
Oh, what a happy little question! Let's think about shapes that could have a perimeter of 15 and an area of 16. One shape that comes to mind is a rectangle with dimensions 4 by 4. Another possibility is a square with sides of length 4. These shapes show us that there can be different ways to create beautiful combinations of perimeter and area.
The largest is the Pacific and the smallest is the Arctic.
The Arctic Ocean has the smallest area of the 5 oceans. The Arctic Ocean has a total of 5,427,000 square miles.

triangle
It is possible for to shapes to have the same area but different perimeters because, for example, one shape could be a 2 by 4 rectangle and another shape be a 1 by 8 rectangle. Both shapes have an area of 8 (2*4=8 and 1*8=8) but the 2 by 4 has a perimeter of 12 (2+2+4+4=12) but the 1 by 8 rectangle has an area of 18 (1+1+8+8=18).
circle has the smallest area
A tetrahedron is the smallest possible polyhedron: a closed 3-d shape with polygonal faces. It has 4 triangular faces, 4 vertices and 6 edges.
The state with the smallest land area is Rhode Island
Yes - even shapes with different area.
Rhode Island is the smallest state by area.
