Can perimeter ever be more than area? - Answers

You can't really compare perimeter and area. Perimeter is a linear measure, area is a two-dimensional measure. They are not directly comparable. You get strange results if you do. Lets say the radius of a circle is 3 cm. The perimeter is 6pi cm The area 9pi cm2 But 3 cm is exactly the same thing as .03 m. So if we use .03 m instead, we get: The perimeter is .06pi m. The area is .0009 m2. If we try to just compare the numbers without taking the units into account, we see that for exactly the same circle in the first case the area is a larger number, in the second case the are is a smaller number.
