The area doesn't tell you the dimensions or the perimeter. It doesn't even tell you
the shape.
The shortest perimeter that could enclose that area would be a circle. The shortest
perimeter with straight sides would be a square. If it's a rectangle, then there are
an infinite number of them, all with different dimensions and different perimeters,
that all have the same area.

MaxineThe perimeter of an area depends on its shape. Assuming a rectangular shape, the minimum perimeter is when it is square. The maximum perimeter is infinite when one edge is very long and the adjacent edge is very short. So, for a square, one side of a 5000 metre square area is the square root of the area which is 70.710678 metres. The perimeter would be 4 times that number or 282.84 metres. The very minimum perimeter, however, would be a circular area. using the formula pi times the radius squared equalling 5000. solving for R you wind up with a radius of 39.8942m. then the perimeter is equal to pi times the diameter, or 250.6628 meters as a very minimum perimeter.
