Nearly always multiply. However, for the perimeter of a rectangle, you add the length + width + length + width. This is even simplified by multiplying the length and the width by 2

What is the area of a rectangle that is a perimeter of 30?

It can be 56.25 or anything less, but not more. You can't tell the area from the perimeter, and you can't tell the perimeter from the area. -- if each side is 7.5, the perimeter is 30, and the area is 56.25 -- if it's (5 by 10), the perimeter is still 30, and the area is 50 -- if it's (4 by 11), the perimeter is still 30, and the area is 44 -- if it's (3 by 12), the perimeter is still 30, and the area is 36 -- if it's (2 by 13), the perimeter is still 30, and the area is 26 -- if it's (1 by 14), the perimeter is still 30, and the area is 14
