Does a shape with a smaller perimeter always have a smaller area?

No, a shape with a smaller perimeter does not always have a smaller area. The relationship between perimeter and area depends on the specific shape in question. For example, a square with a perimeter of 12 units will have a larger area than a rectangle with the same perimeter. The distribution of perimeter and area varies based on the shape's dimensions and proportions.
