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.

What is the perimeter for a polygon that's area is 20sq. units?
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.
What is the difference between finding the perimeter of a polygon and finding the area of a polygon?
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.
What is the perimeter of a polygon with the area of 7?
If you restrict yourself to integers, the perimeter of a four-sided polygon is 16.
How do you find the perimeter of a regular polygon with the apothem and area?
Perimeter = 2*Area/Apothem.
The what of a polygon is the distance around the polygon?
the perimeter. the space inside is the area
