Consider a square with sides of length x cm whose area is x2 cm and perimeter is 4x cm.
Next consider a rectangle with sides of 2x cm and x/2 cm. It area is 2x*x/2 = x2, the same as for the square. But its perimeter is 2*(2x+x/2) = 5x > perimeter of the square.
Perimeter of 3x * x/3 = 62/3x cm.
Perimeter of 100x * x/100 = 200.02x cm
Perimeter of 1000000x * x/1000000 = 2000000.000002x cm.
As you can see, it is possible to increase the perimeter without limit.

A 9 x 1 rectangle has a perimeter of 20 and an area of 9; A 9.5 x 0.5 rectangle has the same perimeter but an area of 4.75; You can go a long way along this road...
Yes and no. You can make the area narrower or wider, but you can't actually change it.
The perimeter for a certain area varies, depending on the figure. For example, a circle, different ellipses, a square, different rectangles, and different shapes of triangles, all have different perimeters or circumferences, for the same area.The perimeter for a certain area varies, depending on the figure.

No. For example, a 4x1 rectangle will have an area of 4 and a perimeter of 10. A 2x2 rectangle will have the same area of 4, but a perimeter of 8.

11 x 12 rectangle has a larger perimeter = 46 units The 132 square unit area will give a square a perimeter of 45.9565 units
True, because perimeter is 2L+2W, and area is LW, and because they both have the same Length (L), whichever one has the higher Width (W) will have the larger area and perimeter.For ExampleL=10 W=5Perimeter = 30Area = 50L=10 W=6Perimeter = 32Area = 60

You can't: there are many different shapes with the same area that have different perimeters. For example, if you have an area of 100, the figure could be a 10 by 10 square (with a perimeter of 40), a 20 by 5 rectangle (with a perimeter of 50), or even a circle with a radius of about 5.64, and a perimeter of about 35.44. You might be able to figure out the perimeter if you know something about the shape. If you know it's a square, for example, then the perimiter is 4 times the square root of the area. It's also interesting to note that of all shapes with the same area, the one with the smallest perimeter will be a circle. This is why soap bubbles are round: their contents are fixed, but surface tension makes the bubble "try" to minimize the perimeter.
No. For example, a 4x1 rectangle will have an area of 4 and a perimeter of 10. A 2x2 rectangle will have the same area of 4, but a perimeter of 8.
The area and perimeter cannot be equal because the perimeter is a linear measure while an area is a square measure. However, it is perfectly possible for them to have the same numerical value. For example, a 3cm by 6 cm square has a perimeter of 2*(3+6) = 18 cm and an area or 3*6 = 18 sq cm.
You would have to know what kind of figure you are talking about. For the same perimeter, you can have a different surface area, depending on whether you have a circle, a square, different kinds of rectangles, etc.
Then they both will have the same perimeter
Either of the two can have the larger magnitude although, since one is a length and the other an area, they cannot be compared directly. Moreover, it depends on the units used. For example, a square measuring 3 cm by 3 cm has a perimeter of 12 cm and an area of 9 cm2. The perimeter has the larger magnitude. But the same square can be said to have sides of 30 millimetres. This gives a perimeter of 120 mm and an area of 900 mm2. The area has the larger magnitude. The same sort of result applies to other polygons.
