Generation

Area and perimeter measure different things: perimeter is the distance around the outside of a shape, while area is the space inside it. Here's something surprising—shapes can have the same perimeter but very different areas (imagine stretching a rectangle longer and thinner), or the same area but different perimeters. For example, a 1×16 rectangle and a 4×4 square both have area of 16 square units, but the skinny rectangle has a perimeter of 34 units while the square has only 16 units. Generally, for a given perimeter, the more compact and circular a shape is, the more area it will enclose.
