area is the outside of the shape, to get it, add all sides together. perimeter is the diagnal. i learnt that in 7th grade maths. :)

You can't. The perimeter doesn't tell the area. There are an infinite number of shapes with different dimensions and different areas that all have the same perimeter.
You can not tell just form an area unless you constrain the shape.
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.
I can not tell you. It is because i do not know what shape the polygon is. You must tell me that first.
Knowing the area doesn't tell you the perimeter. There are an infinite number of different sizes and shapes with different perimeters that all have the same area. The shortest possible perimeter for any area is a circle. The shortest possible perimeter for any area with straight sides is a square. And also by the way, there are many different units for area. "Feet" is not one of them. "Square feet" is.
