The area doesn't tell you the dimensions or the perimeter.

It doesn't even tell you the shape.

-- Your area of 36 cm2 could be a circle with a diameter of 6.77 . (Perimeter = 21.27.)

-- It could be a square with sides of 6 . (Perimeter = 24.)

-- It could be rectangles that measure

1 by 36 (Perimeter = 74)

2 by 18 (Perimeter = 40)

3 by 12 (Perimeter = 30)

4 by 9 (Perimeter = 26).

There are an infinite number of more rectangles that it could be, all with

the same area but different perimeters.
