Just as you can't ADD, SUBTRACT or CONVERT, for example, from meters to square meters and vice versa, you can't COMPARE them either. Just comparing the numbers doesn't make sense, since the numbers are quite arbitrary (they depend on the units used.As an example: a square of 1 meter x 1 meter has an area of 1 (square meter) and a perimeter of 4 (meters). But if you express the SAME square in millimeters, it has an area of 1000 x 1000 = 1 million (square millimeters), and a perimeter of 4000 (millimeters).

So, as you can see, there is no sensible way of comparing area and perimeter.

They are different measurements. Area is given in square units (centimetres, metres, feet or inches, etc). A perimeter is a linear measurement of the total length of the border.
