The perimeter and area of a shape do not provide sufficient information. With a given perimeter, the largest area that you can enclose is a circle, but you can then flatten the circle to reduce its area. Similarly, in terms a of quadrilaterals, a square has the largest area, but it can be flexed into a rhombus whose area can be made as small as you like. All that can be said is that there is no shape with a perimeter of 12 units whose area is 12 square units.
A line of any length may act as the radius of a circle. The radius is the distance from the centre to the perimeter of a circle.
2*pi*12 = 75.40 units
perimeter of a circle = circumference = pi x diameter perimeter = 3.1416 x 12 = 37.7 cm
The perimeter of a circle is its circumference
