The perimeter is the outside of a shape and the area is the inside of it

It is different for each shape. A perimeter is the distance around an object and the area is the square units it takes up.
If you are talking about a rectangle, you can't find the area from just the perimeter. With a perimeter of say 80 units, the sides could be 10 and 30, with an area of 300 square units. But the sides could also be 5 and 35, with an area of 175 square units. There are lots of other possibilities. If you are talking about a square, that's different. Each side is a quarter of the perimeter, so the area is a quarter of the perimeter multiplied by a quarter of the perimeter.
The units used are completely different and so incompatible. That said the numerical value for each of a plane figure, the area is usually greater.
To find the perimeter of an area of 500 square feet, we first need to know the shape of the area. For a square, each side would be approximately 22.36 feet (since the area (A = s^2), where (s) is the side length). The perimeter (P) would then be (4s), resulting in a perimeter of about 89.44 feet. For other shapes, the perimeter would vary accordingly.
The length of each side, when added together, forms the perimeter.
