The perimeter of a polygon is not generally equal to the number of square units contained in its interior, which is the definition of the area of the polygon, not of its perimeter. By coincidence, the area and perimeter of a square four units on each side have the same magnitude, 16, but the perimeter is 16 units and the area is 16 square units .
The answer depends on what information you have about the regular polygon. You need to know, or be able to derive, the number of sides (n) and the length of each side (L). Then the perimeter is n*L units of length.
Type your answer here... give the dimensions of the rectangle with an are of 100 square units and whole number side lengths that has the largest perimeter and the smallest perimeter
Well honey, a shape with a perimeter of 22 units could be a rectangle with sides measuring 5 units and 6 units. Or it could be a square with each side measuring 5.5 units. There are other shapes that could fit the bill, but those are the most common ones. Hope that helps, sugar!
It is 5 units * 20 units. A smaller perimeter can be attained by a square but the question specified a rectangle.

Find the apothem of a regular polygon with an area of 625 m2 and a perimeter of 100 m.
Twelve is my guess. The question is unclear. A polygon does not have one "length".

The perimeter of a polygon is the distance around the outside of the polygon. A polygon is 2-dimensional; however, perimeter is 1-dimensional and is measured in linear units.To find the perimeter of a polygon, take the sum of the length of each side.

The area of a regular polygon is equal to (1/2)pa, where p is the perimeter and a is the apothegm. The area of this polygon is (1/2)(15.44)(16), which is 123.52 square units.

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.
Finding the perimeter of a polygon is finding how far it is in total along all the edges of the polygon; whereas finding the area of a polygon is finding how much space the polygon covers. The perimeter of a polygon forms the boundary around the area of the polygon.
The sum of the lengths of the sides of a polygon is called the perimeter.
