The difference is in the definition of those words:
-- The perimeter is the distance a mosquito has to walk all the way around
the line in order to wind up where it started.
-- The area is how much paint or carpet you need to buy in order to cover
the whole space inside the line.
The area is the space it covers. The perimeter is the length of its sides.
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.
Area you multiply 2 sides and perimeter you add all the sides together.
If you restrict yourself to integers, the perimeter of a four-sided polygon is 16.
Perimeter = 2*Area/Apothem.
The area is the space it covers. The perimeter is the length of its sides.

Area you multiply 2 sides and perimeter you add all the sides together.
You know because the area is the distance inside a polygon and a perimeter is the distance outside a polygon.
A polygon has lengths, angles, a perimeter and area.
Area of regular polygon: 0.5*apothem*perimeter
If you restrict yourself to integers, the perimeter of a four-sided polygon is 16.
Perimeter = 2*Area/Apothem.
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 perimeter. the space inside is the area
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)
No it depends on the size of the polygon
