if the house is a square or rectangle then you need only measure two adjoining sides, you can them multiply these together to get the area, or add the two distances together and then times 2 for the perimeter

To find the perimeter you add and to find the area we multiply.
Perimeter = 2*Area/Apothem.
you divide the area by four and now you can find the perimeter
Perimeter = 4*Side so that Side = Perimeter/4 Area of a rhombus = Side * Altitude so Altitude = Area/Side = Area/(Perimeter/4) = 4*Area/Perimeter
In general you cannot find the perimeter of any shape if only the area is given.
