No the area is almost always greater.
It depends on the shape. Different conditions will apply for a circle, a polygon with n sides.
For a fixed perimeter, the area will always be the same, regardless of how you describe the rectangle.

Area of a regular polygon equals to the one half of the product of its perimeter with the apothem. So we have: A = (1/2)(a)(P) Since our polygon has 10 sides each with length 1.2, the perimeter is 12 910 x 1.2). Substitute 12 for the perimeter, and 1.85 for the apothem in the area formula: A = (1/2)(a)(P) A = (1/2)(1.85)(12) A = 11.1 Thus, the area of the decagon is 11.1.
No the area is almost always greater.
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.
You know because the area is the distance inside a polygon and a perimeter is the distance outside a polygon.
A polygon has lengths, angles, a perimeter and area.
Area of regular polygon: 0.5*apothem*perimeter
If you restrict yourself to integers, the perimeter of a four-sided polygon is 16.
Perimeter = 2*Area/Apothem.
To answer this simply try a few out for yourself. In a 2x1 cm rectangle, the area is 2 cm squared and the perimeter is 6 cm In a 12x10 rectangle, the area is 120 cm squared and the perimeter is 44 cm. In some cases, the perimeter is larger and in others it is smaller. To answer your question, no, the perimeter of a rectangle is NOT always greater than its area.
the perimeter. the space inside is the area
The area of a polygon is greater than the area of the largest circle that can be inscribed within the polygon and smaller that the area of the smallest circle in which the polygon can be enclosed. So the areas of two circles establish a lower and upper bound to the area of the polygon. In a similar fashion, the perimeter of the polygon are also bounded by the circumferences of the two circles. This also works in reverse. That is, the area of a circle lies between the area of an inscribed polygon and that of a polygon containing the circle. And, again, the same applies to the circumference/perimeter. In fact these bounds were used to calculate the value of pi.
Of course, a rectangle can have a greater perimeter and a greater area. Simply double all the sides: the perimeter is doubled and the area is quadrupled - both bigger than they were.
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 .
