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.

What is the effect on the perimeter of a rectangle if the dimension are doubled what is the effect on its area?
Let's take a look at this problem.Rectangle Perimeter = 2(l + w)Rectangle Perimeter =? 2(2l + 2w)Rectangle Perimeter =? (2)(2)(l + w)2(Rectangle Perimeter) = 2[2(l + w)]Thus, we can say that the perimeter of a rectangle is doubled when its dimensions are doubled.Rectangle Area = lwRectangle Area =? (2l)(2w)Rectangle Area =? 4lw4(Rectangle Area) = 4lwThus, we can say that the area of a rectangle is quadruplicated when its dimensions are doubled.
