It depends on the shape. Different conditions will apply for a circle, a polygon with n sides.

Is perimeter always greater than the area?
No the area is almost always greater.
What values of x is the area of the rectangle greater than the perimeter?
5x> 4
What is the relationship for perimeter and area for rectangle?
There is no relationship between the perimeter and area of a rectangle. Knowing the perimeter, it's not possible to find the area. If you pick a number for the perimeter, there are an infinite number of rectangles with different areas that all have that perimeter. Knowing the area, it's not possible to find the perimeter. If you pick a number for the area, there are an infinite number of rectangles with different perimeters that all have that area.
A square has an area of 400 what is the perimeter?
A square with an area of 400 square units has a perimeter of 80 units.
Which measure best descirbes perimeter or area?
units square= area units= perimeter
Is the perimeter of a triangle always bigger than the area of a triangle?
no
What shape has a bigger area and a smaller perimeter?
Bigger than what ? Smaller than what ? If you have a certain perimeter and you want to cram the most area inside it, or if you have a certain area and you want to enclose it in the shortest perimeter, then you must make the perimeter circular. If you have only a limited number of fence posts and a circular perimeter isn't practical, then you make the perimeter square.
Can the perimeter be bigger than the area?
yes, the perimeter can be bigger thenthe area. on a rectangle with a length of 2 and a width of 4, the perimeter is 12 while the area is 8. [ADDED} NO, because although such numbers appear to support the idea, you cannot compare a linear measure with an area.
Can a rectangle have a greater perimeter and also have a greater area?
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.
Is the perimeter of a polygon less than the area of the polygon?
if your perimeter totals the same as 4 times pi then the maximum area that can be encompassed is equal to the perimeter. This is done by forming a circle. if you change the shape of the circle then the area will become smaller than the perimeter(circumference) if you make the circumference of the circle smaller then you will definitely decrease the area faster than you would the perimeter if you make the perimeter bigger then you will definitely increase the area faster than you would the perimeter.
Does bigger the perimeter mean bigger area?
yes
What is bigger area perimeter or side length?
area
Which is bigger the area or the perimeter of a polygon?
You cannot really compare whether the area or perimeter is bigger, since they have different units. If you want to compare which one is numerically bigger, that depends primarily on what units you are using, as well as the magnitude of the lengths.
Is it sometimes always or never true that the perimeter of a rectangle is greater than the area?
It depends on the length and width... The smaller of the length and the width, the perimeter is greater than the area... But.. The bigger of the length and width, the area is greater than the perimeter. example : length = 5 , width = 2 AREA = 5 x 2 = 10 Perimeter = 2 x ( 5 + 2 ) = 14 example : length = 9 , width = 6 AREA = 9 x 6 = 54 Perimeter = 2 x (9 + 6) = 30 you can see the different.....
What is the perimeter of a smaller square?
Less than that of a bigger square.
What is the area if the perimeter is 36?
The perimeter doesn't tell you the area. There are an infinite number of differentareas that it could have.-- If it's a circle with a perimeter of 36, then the area is 103.1324. (rounded)-- If it's a square with a perimeter of 36, then the area is 81 .-- If it's a rectangle with a perimeter of 36, then the area can be any numberthat's more than zero and less than 81 .
Can a shape have the same area but not perimeter?
Most shapes have different perimeter than area, as far as value.
