Is the area always larger than the perimeter?
No the area is not always larger than the perimeter. Ex. The area of a reectangle could be 4 feet. The width could be 4 while the length is 1. The perimeter total would be 10.
Is area on a triangle larger than perimeter?
Perimeter is length (units feet, centimeters, etc.) Area is length2 (square feet, square centimeters etc.). But if you want to disregard the units, you can find triangles which perimeter is larger, smaller or even 'equal' to area, depending on scale.Take a 3,4,5 right triangle. The perimeter = 3+4+5= 12 units. Area = 3*4/2 = 6 square units. Now double the sides.Perimeter = 6 + 8+ 10 = 24 units. Area = 6*8/2 = 24 square units (the numbers are equal). Scaling it larger, then the valueof the area (in square units) will be larger than the perimeter value (in straight units).
Rectangle whose perimeter is larger than area?
Perimeter is a unit of length. Area is a unit of area. The two units are not directly convertible.However, the area of a rectangle is length times width, and the perimeter is two times length plus two times width. Given constant perimeter, a square has maximum area, while a very thin rectangle has nearly zero area. (In calculus terms, the limit of the area as length or width goes to zero is zero.)Depending on how you want to name your units, you can always find a rectangle whose perimeter is "larger" than area, but this is a numerical trick that is not valid in any school of thought of mathematics that I know.
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.
Is it possible for the area to be smaller than the perimeter?
Yes, it is possible for the area to be smaller than the perimeter. In geometric terms, the area of a shape is the measure of the space inside the shape, while the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all the sides. For certain shapes, such as rectangles with very elongated proportions, it is possible for the perimeter to be larger than the area.
