No and I must say shame on you for making the grammatical error, you can only write "an" if there is a vowel following. First grade my friend.

You cannot compare them like that.

The "perimeter" of a circle of diameter D is its "circumference" and that is a linear measure given by pi*D or 2*pi*R, where R is the radius.

The area is given by either pi*(D^2)/4, OR by pi*(R^2); so is not a linear measure.

For either case, use diameter or radius depending on what you are given or better suits any surrounding calculations.

A neat trick with using the diameter is to re-arrange the formula slightly into Area = (D^2)*pi/4. Now, pi/4 to four decimal places, so often accurate enough for most practical purposes, is 0.7854. If you use pi frequently it's worth remembering both pi and pi/4 to 4 decimal places, as your constants

If you look at your calculator key-pad, assuming it's standard layout, those 4 decimal digits all lie in a neat clockwise square, making the calculation rather nifty!

Is the perimeter of a polygon less than the area of the polygon?

if your perimeter totals the same as 4 times pi then the maximum area that can be encompassed is equal to the perimeter. This is done by forming a circle. if you change the shape of the circle then the area will become smaller than the perimeter(circumference) if you make the circumference of the circle smaller then you will definitely decrease the area faster than you would the perimeter if you make the perimeter bigger then you will definitely increase the area faster than you would the perimeter.

What is the area if the perimeter is 36?

The perimeter doesn't tell you the area. There are an infinite number of differentareas that it could have.-- If it's a circle with a perimeter of 36, then the area is 103.1324. (rounded)-- If it's a square with a perimeter of 36, then the area is 81 .-- If it's a rectangle with a perimeter of 36, then the area can be any numberthat's more than zero and less than 81 .
