If you want to enclose a certain area, the shape that does it with the shortest perimeter is a circle.
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.
Bigger than what ? Smaller than what ? If you have a certain perimeter and you want to cram the most area inside it, or if you have a certain area and you want to enclose it in the shortest perimeter, then you must make the perimeter circular. If you have only a limited number of fence posts and a circular perimeter isn't practical, then you make the perimeter square.
A square has four equal sides Perimeter of a square = 4 X length of a side Shortest possible length of a side is 22 inches divided by 4 sides = 5.5 inches

If you want to enclose a certain area, the shape that does it with the shortest perimeter is a circle.
The area doesn't tell you the dimensions or the perimeter. It doesn't even tell you the shape. The shortest perimeter that could enclose that area would be a circle. The shortest perimeter with straight sides would be a square. If it's a rectangle, then there are an infinite number of them, all with different dimensions and different perimeters, that all have the same area.

5.5 inches
A square has four equal sides Perimeter of a square = 4 X length of a side Shortest possible length of a side is 22 inches divided by 4 sides = 5.5 inches
The perimeter is 11 + 5 + 13 = 29 inches.

Radius is the shortest distance via straight line between the center point of the circle and its perimeter. Diameter is the greatest distance via straight line from one perimeter of the circle to the opposite perimeter. Diameter = 2x Radius.
Knowing the area doesn't tell the perimeter. There are an infinite number of different perimeters that can all enclose the same area. The shortest one is a circle. The next shortest is a square. From there, you can actually make the perimeter as large as you want, with no limit, while keeping the area constant. Examples: 30 cm by 40 cm . . . . area = 1,200 cm2 . . . perimeter = 140 cm 10 cm by 120 cm . . . area = 1,200 cm2 . . . perimeter = 260 cm 2 cm by 600 cm . . . . area = 1,200 cm2 . . . perimeter = 1,204 cm 1 cm by 1,200 cm. . . area = 1,200 cm2 . . . perimeter = 2,402 cm 1
