Units mismatch prevents any comparison of the values:

  • perimeter is measured in units of length (e.g. inches, meters, miles)
  • area is measured in units of area (e.g. square inches, square meters, square miles)

The perimeter and the area are measured in different units. They cannot be compared in such a manner

How do you turn square feet into a perimeter?

To find the perimeter of a shape given the area in square feet, you need to know the dimensions of the shape. If it's a square or rectangle, you can calculate the perimeter by finding the square root of the area to get the side length, and then multiply that by 4 for a square or 2 times the sum of the length and width for a rectangle. If it's a different shape, you will need additional information to determine the perimeter.


How do you convert perimeter in square meter?

Divide by 100: 43cm / 100 = 0.43 meters.


What is the perimeter of a square with an area of 40000?

To find the perimeter of a square, you can use the formula P = 4s, where P is the perimeter and s is the length of one side. Since the area of the square is given as 40000, you can find the length of one side by taking the square root of the area (sqrt(40000) = 200). Then, calculate the perimeter using the formula P = 4 x 200 = 800.


Area is always expressed in?

Area is always expressed in some unit of area. This is often some unit of length, squared - for example square meters, or square millimeters. However, there are units (such as the acre) which are not the square of a unit of length.


Why is perimeter is measure in units and area is measure in square units?

Perimeter represents the distance around the outside of a shape, so it is measured in linear units (such as inches, meters, etc.). Area represents the amount of space inside a shape, so it is measured in square units (such as square inches, square meters, etc.) to indicate the two-dimensional space enclosed by the shape.
