What Is The Difference Between The Perimeter And The Area Of A Polygon?

A polygon refers to a many sided figure. You need to use specific formulas for finding the area and perimeter of a specific polygon. E.g the formula for the area and perimeter of triangle is not same as the formula for area and perimeter of a rectangle. However, the link below will help you in understanding the basic concepts behind the area and perimeter value of a polygon:
Polygon

The perimeter is the sum of each side, the area is the inside area  surrounded by the edges.

Find the perimeter of the polygon with vertices at (1,3) , (7,3) ,(7,7) and (4,7)

Perimeter have 9 unit and area have 4 unit

Find the perimeter of the polygon with vertices at (1,3) , (7,3) ,(7,7) and (4,7)

There are sixty -four kittens in the box. One eighth of the kittens are male. How many of the kittens are male?

It is the difference between fencing and carpet (or paint). Perimeter refers to the 1-dimensional length of the edge. (Fence is usually installed around the perimeter of a space.) Area refers to the number of squares of a given size required to cover the 2-dimensional space (carpet squares, for example).
