Knowing the area doesn't tell the perimeter. There are an infinite number of
different perimeters that can all enclose the same area. The shortest one is
a circle. The next shortest is a square. From there, you can actually make the
perimeter as large as you want, with no limit, while keeping the area constant.
Examples:
30 cm by 40 cm . . . . area = 1,200 cm2 . . . perimeter = 140 cm
10 cm by 120 cm . . . area = 1,200 cm2 . . . perimeter = 260 cm
2 cm by 600 cm . . . . area = 1,200 cm2 . . . perimeter = 1,204 cm
1 cm by 1,200 cm. . . area = 1,200 cm2 . . . perimeter = 2,402 cm

What is the perimeter of a square if the area is 81 centimeters squared?
For a square Area = Side2 thus Side = √Area = √81 = 9cmFor a square, Perimeter = 4 x Side = 4 x 9 = 36cm

Which rectangle has the greater perimeter 6 centimeters by 4 centimeters 6.5 centimeters by 2 centimeters?
6x4 has a perimeter of 2*(6+4) = 2*10 = 20 cm 6.5x2 has a perimeter of 2*(6.5+2) = 2*8.5 = 17 cm So the first has the larger perimeter.
What is the perimeter of a square if it has an area of 36 square centimeters?
To find the perimeter of a square when given the area, you first need to find the length of one side of the square. Since the area of the square is 36 square centimeters, you can find the length of one side by taking the square root of the area, which is 6 centimeters. The perimeter of a square is calculated by multiplying the length of one side by 4, so the perimeter of this square would be 24 centimeters.
