If you're planning to carpet, paint, or wax the floor, then you need to know its area.

If you're planning to spiff up the appearance of the floor with new baseboard molding,

then you don't care about the area, but you need to know its perimeter.

If you're planning to put up a fence around your yard, then you need to know its

perimeter. If you're planning to plant a whole new lawn in your yard, then you don't

care about the perimeter, but you need to know its area.

Somebody said : "But if you know one of them, can't you figure out the other one ?"

No, you can't in the world of floors and lawns but it is occasionaly possible with geometric figures. A square with a perimeter of 24 units will have to have an area of 36 square units and a square with an area of 25 square units will have to have a perimeter of 20 units.
