How do you get perimeter of building when you know the square feet of a building?

You can't. The area doesn't tell you the dimensions or the perimeter. You absolutely must know something else besides the area. For example, if you know the area, and you also know that the building is square, then the perimeter is four times the square root of the area. But that's only an example. The main thing is: You can't figure out anything else from just the area and no other information. Here's an example: If you had a building that was 40ft x 40ft it's square feet would be 1600, but it's perimeter would be 40+40+40+40 or 160. If instead you had a building that was 20ft x 80ft it's square feet would be 1600, but it's perimeter would be 20 + 80 + 20 + 80 or 200. So see, both have the same square feet, but different perimeters.
