What is the diffrence between area and perimeter?
The area is the space it covers. The perimeter is the length of its sides.
What is the difference between finding the perimeter of a polygon and finding the area of a polygon?
Finding the perimeter of a polygon is finding how far it is in total along all the edges of the polygon; whereas finding the area of a polygon is finding how much space the polygon covers. The perimeter of a polygon forms the boundary around the area of the polygon.
What is the different between the perimeter and the area of a polygon?
Area you multiply 2 sides and perimeter you add all the sides together.
What is the perimeter of a polygon with the area of 7?
If you restrict yourself to integers, the perimeter of a four-sided polygon is 16.
How do you find the perimeter of a regular polygon with the apothem and area?
Perimeter = 2*Area/Apothem.

How do you know that area is this and perimeter is that?
You know because the area is the distance inside a polygon and a perimeter is the distance outside a polygon.
What measurement does a polygon have?
A polygon has lengths, angles, a perimeter and area.
What is the formula for finding the area of a regular polygon with perimeter P and apothegm length a?
Area of regular polygon: 0.5*apothem*perimeter
What is the perimeter of a polygon with the area of 7?
If you restrict yourself to integers, the perimeter of a four-sided polygon is 16.
How do you find the perimeter of a regular polygon with the apothem and area?
Perimeter = 2*Area/Apothem.
What is the difference between the perimeter and the area of a polygon?
Perimeter is the distance around the outside. Area is the space inside. By multiplying length times width The area is found. Perimeter is the sum of sides The distance all around.
The what of a polygon is the distance around the polygon?
the perimeter. the space inside is the area
What is the difference between perimeter and area of polygon?
perimeter is the measure around the figure; area is the measure within the figure formula: perimeter: length+length+width+width=perimeter (for square or rectangle) area: length times width= area ( for square or rectangle)
Does a polygon with a greater area always have a greater perimeter?
No it depends on the size of the polygon
