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).

What is the perimeter of a triangle that has a area of 6.5 cm?
The minimum perimeter is when the triangle is an equilateral triangle. The perimeter of any other triangle with the same area will be longer. In the case of an equilateral triangle area = (√3)/4 × side² → side = √(4×6.5 cm²/√3) → perimeter = 3 × side = 3 × √(4×6.5 cm²/√3) ≈ 11.62 cm → The triangle has a perimeter greater than or equal to approx 11.62 cm.
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.
What is the smallest whole number larger than the perimeter of any triangle with a side length of 5 and a side length of 19?
It is 48.
Can perimeter be larger than area?
yes if you have a 1 by 1 rectangle, you would have a perimeter of 4 but an area of 1 [ADDED} It's really a meaningless question because although such numbers suggest that, you cannot compare a linear dimension (perimeter) with an area.
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 triangle always bigger than the area of a triangle?
no
What is the relation between perimeter and triangle area?
If you double (2 times) the perimeter the area will will be 4 times larger. Therefore the area is proportional to the square of the perimeter or the perimeter is proportional to the square root of area. The relationship as shown above applies only to triangles with similar proportions, that is when you scale up or down any triangle of fixed proportions. Other than that requirement, there is no relationship between perimeter and area of any shape of triangle except that it can be stated that the area will be maximum when the sides are of equal length (sides = 1/3 of perimeter).

What is larger area or perimeter?
It depends. With a square with a side of 2, the perimeter is 8 while the area is 4. With a square with a side of 10, the perimeter is 40 while the area is 100. Usually, though, you'll find that the area is larger than the perimeter.
Can a perimeter be larger than the area itself for example a 3x3 square with a perimeter of 12in and a area of 9in?
yes
What is the perimeter of a triangle with an area of 924cm?
It can be anything greater than 3200.8 cm. By making the triangle taller and thinner you can keep the area constant while increasing the perimeter - without limit.
Is the perimeter larger than the area?
Yes it can but on some occasions the area can be more.
If the area of triangle B is 64 times greater than the area of triangle A how much greater is the perimeter of triangle B?
IF triangles 'A' and 'B' are similar (they both have the same angles),then the perimeter of 'B' is 8 times the perimeter of 'A'.If they're not similar, then the ratio of areas doesn't tell you the ratioof perimeters.
If a perimeter is 22 ft what is rectangle with an area larger than 30?
5
Is perimeter larger than the area of square?
Perimeter is length or distance (inches, feet, meters). Area is square units (length2 : square inches, square feet, square meters), so to say that one is larger than another is not relevant. If it's a 1 by 1, then the perimeter is 4 and the area is 1. But if the square is 5 by 5, then it has a perimeter of 20 and an area of 25. It depends, good luck.
What is the smallest whole number larger than the perimeter of any triangle with a side length of 5 and a side length of 19?
It is 48.
