Perimeter and area measure different aspects of a shape. The perimeter is the total length of the shape's boundary, while the area measures the space enclosed within that boundary. In some cases, especially for elongated or irregular shapes, the perimeter can be larger than the area because the boundary can extend far without significantly increasing the enclosed space. For example, a long, thin rectangle may have a large perimeter relative to its area.
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.
Perimeter and area measure different aspects of a shape, so one isn't inherently "bigger" than the other. The perimeter is the total distance around a shape, while the area quantifies the space within that shape. Depending on the dimensions of the shape, either the perimeter can be larger than the area, or vice versa. For example, for a square with a side length of 1, the perimeter is 4 while the area is 1, but as the shape increases in size, the area can grow more rapidly than the perimeter.
yes
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.
It depends on the length and width... The smaller of the length and the width, the perimeter is greater than the area... But.. The bigger of the length and width, the area is greater than the perimeter. example : length = 5 , width = 2 AREA = 5 x 2 = 10 Perimeter = 2 x ( 5 + 2 ) = 14 example : length = 9 , width = 6 AREA = 9 x 6 = 54 Perimeter = 2 x (9 + 6) = 30 you can see the different.....

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.

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.
yes
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.
area
It depends on the shape. Different conditions will apply for a circle, a polygon with n sides.

Less than that of a bigger square.
