Perimeter is the distance around the outline of a plane object. The area is the amount of space the shape occupies. How you"do" it depends on the shape. There are relatvely straightforward formulae for circle, ellipses, triangles, some quadrilaterals and regular polygons with5 or more sides. With more complicated shapes the formulae - if any - become a lot more complicated.
