Area is the total space within a shape or region. Perimeter is the length along the outside edge (circumference for a closed curve).
Different shapes have different formulas.
Examples:
For a square:
Area = (side)2
Perimeter = 4 x (side)
For a circle:
Area = (pi)x (radius)2
Perimeter = (2 pi) x (radius)
For a rectangle:
Area = (length) x (width)
Perimeter = (2 x length) + (2 x width)
As you can see, you really have to know which shape you're talking about,
and then pick the right formulas for it.

What is the formula for circle segment?
The answer will depend on what the formula is for: the perimeter or area of the segment.
What is the formula for surface area if the only measurement you have is the perimeter?
There can be no such formula in general. A formula will exist if the area is a regular polygon (or a circle).
What is the formula for measuring area within a given perimeter such as a square?
The formula for measuring the area of a square is s2, where s is the length of one of the sides. The perimeter would be 4s.
Is area the same with perimeter?
perimeter is different from area because example is in rectangle from formula until you get the answer you can easily see the difference
How do you find the perimeter and area and formula on a rectangle?
for area you multiply length times width and for perimeter you add all of the sides together
