To calculate the area you multiply the width times lenghth.the numbers that are on the side of the shape multiply them and you'll get the area. Now to get the perimeter you add the numbers on the sides together. Add lenght times width.that's how you get your perimter and area.
You don't. Perimeter is a concept associated with plane figures, not solid shapes.
Yes - even shapes with different area.
Most shapes have different perimeter than area, as far as value.
You don't need to if you can manage to work out the perimeter and area of complex shapes. Most people cannot work easily with shapes other than triangles, quadrilaterals, circles and semicircles. For them (us) it is easier to partition the shape.
it's a subject because it explains about all types of shapes that you can know and it also teaches you how to calculate the area and perimeter of the shape that you are finding.
Legnth of the sides and then you add them up to get the perimeter

There are infinitely many shapes.
For the area of a square, it is the base x the height, and the perimeter is 2height+2base. For the area of a triangle, it is base x height divided by two. And to find the perimeter you just add up each of the side lengths.

yes they can

They are the result of combining shapes, either by adding parts or taking parts away. We calculate the perimeter of composite shapes by splitting them into simpler pieces and then calculating the perimeter of those simpler pieces.
The perimeter of a triangle does not provide sufficient information to calculate its area.
Perimeter = 4 times the square root of the area.
