How are area and perimeter different from each other?
The perimeter is the outside of a shape and the area is the inside of it
How do you figure out the area if you know the perimeter?
You can't. The perimeter doesn't tell the area. There are an infinite number of shapes with different dimensions and different areas that all have the same perimeter.
Can a shape have the same area but not perimeter?
Most shapes have different perimeter than area, as far as value.
Can a square have different area and perimeter?
Yes
What is the perimeter if the area is 4785 feet?
Knowing the area doesn't tell you the perimeter. There are an infinite number of different sizes and shapes with different perimeters that all have the same area. The shortest possible perimeter for any area is a circle. The shortest possible perimeter for any area with straight sides is a square. And also by the way, there are many different units for area. "Feet" is not one of them. "Square feet" is.
