That's because you can easily have two different shapes with the SAME perimeter, and DIFFERENT areas, or vice versa. Here is an example:* A 2x2 rectangle has an area of 4, and a perimeter of 8.
* A 1x3 rectangle has an area of 3, and a perimeter of 8.
* A 0x4 rectangle has an area of 0, and a perimeter of 8. (If you don't like this rectangle, you can make one that is arbitrarily close, i.e., a very small width.)
Note that for two SIMILAR figures, any linear measurements are proportional to the scale size, and any area measure is proportional to the square of the scale size - that will make the area proportional to the perimeter, but only for two similar shapes, e.g., two rectangles with the same length-to-width ratio.

∙ 7y agoFor regular polygons , circles, and some other shapes they are dependent. But in general, the two measure different characteristics which results in the absence of dependence.

What is the area and perimeter of an indoor pool?
They vary from one pool to another.
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.
If the area of the square is one foot what is the perimeter?
The perimeter will be four feet.
How do you get area of a square with perimeter?
divide the perimeter by four to get the length of one side then square your answer to find the area
If one rectangles perimeter is greater than another will its area also be greater?
i don't really know but i think the answer is yes
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 does perimeter and area have in common?
One thing that area and perimeter has in common is that they both measures some part of a shape
How do you find the area if perimeter is given?
If the area is a square, 1/4 of the perimeter is the length of one side. That length squared is the area. The area will be the product of two numbers whose sum is half the perimeter.
What do perimeter and area have in common?
One thing that area and perimeter have in common are that they both are measurements of a shape while perimeter is the distance around and area is the measurement of space within the object or space.
How to find the area fro the perimeter?
What is its area? Divide the perimeter by 4: that gives you the length of one side. Then square that length: that gives you the area.
What is the perimeter of a square with the area of one?
Four.
Do rectangles with the same area have equal perimeters?
No, they are not equal. Say a rectangle is 3 x 2 = 6 sq in area Say another is 6 x 1 = 6 sq in area perimeter of first one is 2L + 2B = 10 perimeter of second one is 2L + 2B = 14
