The answer will depend on the nature of the polygon and what is known about it.
For a triangle, for example, there are formulae if you know 3 sides; or 2 sides and an angle; or 1 side and 2 angles. In the second case you can find the area but not the perimeter.
In the case of a quadrilateral, you will require much more information, and for polygons with more sides, even more.
Even if you knew how many sides the polygon has, you stillcould not calculate its perimeter with that much information.Examples:-- An equilateral triangle with area of 20 has perimeter of 20.3885 .-- A square with area of 20 has perimeter of 17.889(rounded).-- A rectangle with area of 20 can have any perimeter more than 17.889 .4 by 5 . . . . area = 20, perimeter = 182 by 10 . . . area = 20, perimeter = 241 by 20 . . . area = 20, perimeter = 42..etc.
Finding the perimeter of a polygon is finding how far it is in total along all the edges of the polygon; whereas finding the area of a polygon is finding how much space the polygon covers. The perimeter of a polygon forms the boundary around the area of the polygon.
If you restrict yourself to integers, the perimeter of a four-sided polygon is 16.
Perimeter = 2*Area/Apothem.
The perimeter of a shape such as a polygon is the sum of its sides.

You know because the area is the distance inside a polygon and a perimeter is the distance outside a polygon.
The perimeter of a polygon is the sum of the length of each of its sides. If the polygon is a regular polygon the you can calculate the perimeter as [number of sides] *[the length of one side]
A polygon has lengths, angles, a perimeter and area.
Area of regular polygon: 0.5*apothem*perimeter
If you restrict yourself to integers, the perimeter of a four-sided polygon is 16.
Perimeter = 2*Area/Apothem.
The perimeter of a shape such as a polygon is the sum of its sides.
the perimeter. the space inside is the area
The area of a polygon is greater than the area of the largest circle that can be inscribed within the polygon and smaller that the area of the smallest circle in which the polygon can be enclosed. So the areas of two circles establish a lower and upper bound to the area of the polygon. In a similar fashion, the perimeter of the polygon are also bounded by the circumferences of the two circles. This also works in reverse. That is, the area of a circle lies between the area of an inscribed polygon and that of a polygon containing the circle. And, again, the same applies to the circumference/perimeter. In fact these bounds were used to calculate the value of pi.
No it depends on the size of the polygon
