Does bigger the perimeter mean bigger area?
yes
What shape has a bigger area and a smaller perimeter?
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.
Which is bigger the area or the perimeter of a polygon?
You cannot really compare whether the area or perimeter is bigger, since they have different units. If you want to compare which one is numerically bigger, that depends primarily on what units you are using, as well as the magnitude of the lengths.
What should you use with area and perimeter square units or units?
units with perimeter square units with area
How do you find the Perimeter of a polygon with only the area?
Different polygons have different relationships between perimeter and area. For example, if we assume regular polygons, an equilateral triangle and a square have different perimeters for the same area. If you allow irregular polygons, the variety is even bigger.

yes
What is bigger area perimeter or side length?
area

Can the perimeter be bigger than the area?
yes, the perimeter can be bigger thenthe area. on a rectangle with a length of 2 and a width of 4, the perimeter is 12 while the area is 8. [ADDED} NO, because although such numbers appear to support the idea, you cannot compare a linear measure with an area.
Is the perimeter of a triangle always bigger than the area of a triangle?
no

Can a rectangle have a greater perimeter and also have a greater area?
Of course, a rectangle can have a greater perimeter and a greater area. Simply double all the sides: the perimeter is doubled and the area is quadrupled - both bigger than they were.
How do you determine the area and perimeter of a rectangle?
for area we should multiple length X breadth for perimeter we should do 2x(LxB)
What should you use with area and perimeter square units or units?
units with perimeter square units with area
What happens to the perimeter and the area of a rectangle if you double the length and the width?
the perimeter will double. but the area should doubled to four
Is the perimeter of a polygon less than the area of the polygon?
if your perimeter totals the same as 4 times pi then the maximum area that can be encompassed is equal to the perimeter. This is done by forming a circle. if you change the shape of the circle then the area will become smaller than the perimeter(circumference) if you make the circumference of the circle smaller then you will definitely decrease the area faster than you would the perimeter if you make the perimeter bigger then you will definitely increase the area faster than you would the perimeter.
Should the area of a shape be the same as the perimeter?
No.
