It really depends on the shape. Different shapes have different relationships between perimeter and area. For similar shapes, the perimeter will increase linearly with the diameter, length, or any other linear measure, while the area will increase with the square of any linear measure. For example, if one square has ten times the side-length of another, its perimeter will also be ten times longer; but its area will be 100 times larger.

How is area and perimeter related?
I think it depends on the shape
Does a shape with a smaller perimeter always have a smaller area?
No. Consider two rectangles: 1 x 10 and 4 x 5 The 1 x 10 has a perimeter of 22 and an area of 10 The 4 x 5 has a perimeter of 18 and an area of 20 Smaller perimeter, twice the area.
What is the shape for a figure to have a perimeter of 20 and an area of 18?
Perimeter and area are not sufficient to determine the shape of a figure.
What is area an perimeter?
Area is the amount of square units in a 2-D shape, and perimeter is the distance around a shape
How are area and perimeter different from each other?
The perimeter is the outside of a shape and the area is the inside of it
How is area and perimeter related?

What is a perimieter?
perimeter is when you have a shape and then you have your area and that is what is in the middle of the shape and perimeter is the edge of the shape.
Does a shape with a smaller perimeter always have a smaller area?
No. Consider two rectangles: 1 x 10 and 4 x 5 The 1 x 10 has a perimeter of 22 and an area of 10 The 4 x 5 has a perimeter of 18 and an area of 20 Smaller perimeter, twice the area.
Is perimeter and area the same?
No , perimeter is the measurement outside of the shape; the border. Area is the measurement of inside of the shape.
What is the shape for a figure to have a perimeter of 20 and an area of 18?
Perimeter and area are not sufficient to determine the shape of a figure.
What is area an perimeter?
Area is the amount of square units in a 2-D shape, and perimeter is the distance around a shape
What is the perimeter of a cone?
A cone is a 3-dimensional shape; the 3-dimensional equivalent of perimeter is area. See the related question for information on this.
If you remove a square from the area of a shape will its perimeter get smaller?
No, the area will get smaller, not the perimeter.
How are area and perimeter different from each other?
The perimeter is the outside of a shape and the area is the inside of it
Is the perimeter the inside of a shape or the outside?
Perimeter is the outside. The area is the inside of a shape.
Which shape has the shortest perimeter?
If you want to enclose a certain area, the shape that does it with the shortest perimeter is a circle.
What shape has no area but perimeter?
Line
