Either of the two can have the larger magnitude although, since one is a length and the other an area, they cannot be compared directly. Moreover, it depends on the units used.
For example, a square measuring 3 cm by 3 cm has a perimeter of 12 cm and an area of 9 cm2. The perimeter has the larger magnitude.
But the same square can be said to have sides of 30 millimetres. This gives a perimeter of 120 mm and an area of 900 mm2. The area has the larger magnitude.
The same sort of result applies to other polygons.

Which regular polygon has interior angles with measures greater than 130?
For the interior angle of a regular polygon to be greater than 130° then the exterior angle must be less than 50°. The exterior angles of a regular polygon total 360°. 360/50 = 7.2 ....this needs to be rounded up to the next whole number. Therefore a regular polygon with 8 or more sides has interior angles measuring 130° or greater.
How many lines in a regular polygon?
Any number greater than 2.
What is a true statement about a circle inscribed in a regular polygon?
The circle has a smaller area than the polygon.
What is a complex polygon?
A polygon can be convex, which means Convex Polygon: A polygon that has all interior angles less than 180° Concave Polygon A polygon that has one or more interior angles greater than 180° A Complex polygon is neither convex or concave. A star polygon is an example of a complex polygon. If you look in google images, there are tons of pics of them.
What is a polygon in a circle if each of its vertices lie on the circle?
For any number greater than or equal to 3, a suitable polygon can be found.
