Answer:

The area can be smaller or larger than the perimeter depending on the shape.

Step by Step Explanation:

You can divide your diagram into one-unit (feet, cm, miles) segments vertically and horizontally if you want to visualize how the area measurement will look. Multiply the length of your rectangle by the width.
