the area is the size of the surface and is always measured in unit of length squared, like m^2 or ft^2.
the perimeter is the boundary of a geometric figure and it's a linear measurement. For example, a square can have a perimeter of 4 centimeters, so if you take all the sides and place them in a straight line you measure 4.
