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.

How do you find the area of a rectangle with a perimeter of 36m?
how do you find the area of a rectangle witha perimeter of 36 in You don't. You need more information For example a 1 x 17 rectangle has a perimeter of 36 and its area is 17. But a 2 x 16 rectangle also has a perimeter of 36 and its area is 32.
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.
What is the perimeter of rectangle with an area of 54 square feet?
This has several values.The perimeter is twice the sum of any two numbers whose product is 54.
Can a rectangle have a greater perimeter than another one but have a greater area too?
yes it can; a rectangle 5 by 2 has perimeter 14 and area 10 for example; a rectangle 10 by 2 has perimeter 24 and area 20, both greater.
Can a rectangle have a greater perimeter and also have a greater 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.
What is the perimeter of a rectangle whose area is 21?
That depends on the rectangle! You can have different rectangles with the same area, but with different perimeters.
Is The area of a rectangle always greater than the perimeter?
To answer this simply try a few out for yourself. In a 2x1 cm rectangle, the area is 2 cm squared and the perimeter is 6 cm In a 12x10 rectangle, the area is 120 cm squared and the perimeter is 44 cm. In some cases, the perimeter is larger and in others it is smaller. To answer your question, no, the perimeter of a rectangle is NOT always greater than its area.
What is the maximum area for a rectangle whose perimeter is 136?
The maximum area for a rectangle of fixed perimeter is that of the square that can be formed with the given perimeter. 136/4 = 34, so that the side of such a square will be 34 and its area 342 = 1156.
If a perimeter is 22 ft what is rectangle with an area larger than 30?
5
Is the perimiter of 11 by 12 rectangle smaller or larger than the perimiter of a sqare with the same area?
11 x 12 rectangle has a larger perimeter = 46 units The 132 square unit area will give a square a perimeter of 45.9565 units
How do you figure the area of a rectangle that has a perimeter of 36 cm?
If it was a square, the answer would be 81 square cm. The area will be the product of two numbers whose sum is half the perimeter.
The area of a rectangle is 100 inches the perimeter is 40 a second rectangle has the same area but a different perimeter. Is the second rectangle a square?
the area of a rectangleis 100 square inches. The perimeter of the rectangle is 40 inches. A second rectangle has the same area but a different perimeter. Is the secind rectangle a square? Explain why or why not.
What is the length and width of a rectangle whose area is 1 and the perimeter is 4?
that's easy.....it's 1 ;)
If same area in a rectangle does that mean same perimeter?
No. For example, a 4x1 rectangle will have an area of 4 and a perimeter of 10. A 2x2 rectangle will have the same area of 4, but a perimeter of 8.
The length of a rectangle is twice its width If the perimeter of the rectangle is 54y find its area?
The length of a rectangle is twice its width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is , find its area.
What is the perimeter of a rectangle with an area of 24cm?
The perimeter of the rectangle is the sum of its 4 sides.
How can you find the answer for the perimeter and area of a rectangle?
find the perimeter and area of a rectangle that is 15cm long and 5cm wide
