Depends on what figure you are working on, each figure has its own formula for the area.

So you need to do a sketch and label the relevant quantities which are needed to find the area. By using the perimeter value, find a formula for one quantity in terms of the other(s). Write the area as a function of just one variable. Find the domain of that variable. After that, use the derivative to find the desired global maximum or minimum (the highest or lowest points on the curve), which will give you the maximum or the minimum area of the figure you are interested in.

If you have a specific problem, I can help more.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
