Appearently is 215 sf what ever that means :)
Well, honey, that shape would be a rectangle. It has an area of 12 and a perimeter of 16, which means the length and width would be 4 and 3, respectively. So, grab a ruler and get to measuring those sides!
Area is measured in square units so a shape cannot have an area of 6 cm.

Yes a 2 by 6 rectangle for example.

215 sf
Any shape can have a perimeter of 6 units, depending on what those units are.
A 3 x 3 square has perimeter 12 and area 9 A 6 x 6 square has perimeter 24 and area 36 Double the dimensions, double the perimeter, quadruple the area. Mathematically, a square with side x has a perimeter of 4x and an area of x2 Doubled, a square with side 2x has a perimeter of 8x and an area of 4x2
The area doesn't tell you the dimensions or the perimeter. It doesn't even tell you the shape. -- Your area of 36 cm2 could be a circle with a diameter of 6.77 . (Perimeter = 21.27.) -- It could be a square with sides of 6 . (Perimeter = 24.) -- It could be rectangles that measure 1 by 36 (Perimeter = 74) 2 by 18 (Perimeter = 40) 3 by 12 (Perimeter = 30) 4 by 9 (Perimeter = 26). There are an infinite number of more rectangles that it could be, all with the same area but different perimeters.
12
It is a rectangle and its perimeter is 12+12+6+6 = 36 feet
You cannot find the perimeter unless the rectangle is a regular rectangle (a square) in which case the perimeter is 4 times the square root of the area. With just the area the shape of the rectangle could be any number of shapes with different perimeter, for example, imagine 6 square units 1cm by 1cm arranged in a 1*6 configuration to give a long thin rectangle, the perimeter would be 6+6+1+1=14cm, the same 6 arranged in a 3*2 rectangle would have the same area, but a perimeter of 3+3+2+2=10cm, for this reason a rectangle's perimeter cannot be determined from the area alone.
