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.
