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.

Does a shape with a smaller perimeter always have a smaller area?
No, a shape with a smaller perimeter does not always have a smaller area. The relationship between perimeter and area depends on the specific shape in question. For example, a square with a perimeter of 12 units will have a larger area than a rectangle with the same perimeter. The distribution of perimeter and area varies based on the shape's dimensions and proportions.
If the area is 350square feet what is the perimeter?
There is insufficient information to answer the question. For a given area, the perimeter depends upon the shape. For a given area, the circle will have the smallest perimeter. For polygons, regular polygons will have a smaller perimeter than an irregular one of the same area. Also, for regular polygons, the greater the number of sides, the smaller the perimeter.
Does bigger the perimeter mean bigger area?
yes
What is the shape for a figure to have a perimeter of 20 and an area of 18?
Perimeter and area are not sufficient to determine the shape of a figure.
What is area an perimeter?
