What are four ways that area and perimeter are different?

Answer 1

area:

1-measured in square units

2-the total of the inside of a figure

3-definition is different

4-introduced after perimeter in geometry

Perimeter:

1-total around the outside of a figure

2-Is not measured in square units

3-definition is different

4-taught before area in geometry

Answer 2

Perimeter is a one-dimensional number
Area is a two-dimensional number

Perimeter is the measure of the distance around an object
Area is the measure of the 'area' of an object, enclosed by the perimeter of an object.

The area of an object is not dependant on the perimeter -- that is, the area may be the same for two objects with different perimeters.

Answer 3

1. Area is two dimensional, perimeter lines have one dimension.

2. Area is represented in square units, perimeter lines are represented in linear units.

3. Area is represented by quadratic equations, perimeters are represented as linear equations.

4. Areas are bounded by perimeters.
