It depends.

With a square with a side of 2, the perimeter is 8 while the area is 4.

With a square with a side of 10, the perimeter is 40 while the area is 100.

Usually, though, you'll find that the area is larger than the perimeter.

The larger the perimeter of a square the larger the area of that square?

The area of a square is a function of the perimeter of the square.


Can a perimeter be larger than the area itself for example a 3x3 square with a perimeter of 12in and a area of 9in?

yes


Can the perimeter of a rectanlge be larger than the area?

Yes, the perimeter of a rectangle can be larger than its area. For example, consider a rectangle with dimensions 1 unit by 1 unit, which has a perimeter of 4 units and an area of 1 square unit. As the rectangle's dimensions change, especially when one dimension is much larger than the other, the perimeter can exceed the area even more significantly.


Is the perimeter larger than the area?

Yes it can but on some occasions the area can be more.


Is the area always larger than the perimeter?

No the area is not always larger than the perimeter. Ex. The area of a reectangle could be 4 feet. The width could be 4 while the length is 1. The perimeter total would be 10.


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.


If a perimeter is 22 ft what is rectangle with an area larger than 30?

Is perimeter larger than the area of square?

Perimeter is length or distance (inches, feet, meters). Area is square units (length2 : square inches, square feet, square meters), so to say that one is larger than another is not relevant. If it's a 1 by 1, then the perimeter is 4 and the area is 1. But if the square is 5 by 5, then it has a perimeter of 20 and an area of 25. It depends, good luck.


Can perimeter be larger than area?

yes if you have a 1 by 1 rectangle, you would have a perimeter of 4 but an area of 1 [ADDED} It's really a meaningless question because although such numbers suggest that, you cannot compare a linear dimension (perimeter) with an area.


Is area on a triangle larger than perimeter?

Perimeter is length (units feet, centimeters, etc.) Area is length2 (square feet, square centimeters etc.). But if you want to disregard the units, you can find triangles which perimeter is larger, smaller or even 'equal' to area, depending on scale.Take a 3,4,5 right triangle. The perimeter = 3+4+5= 12 units. Area = 3*4/2 = 6 square units. Now double the sides.Perimeter = 6 + 8+ 10 = 24 units. Area = 6*8/2 = 24 square units (the numbers are equal). Scaling it larger, then the valueof the area (in square units) will be larger than the perimeter value (in straight units).


Is The area of a rectangle always greater than the perimeter?

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.


Is the perimiter of 11 by 12 rectangle smaller or larger than the perimiter of a sqare with the same area?

11 x 12 rectangle has a larger perimeter = 46 units The 132 square unit area will give a square a perimeter of 45.9565 units
