If you're trying to measure the perimeter of almost any shape like a square or triangle or octagon,
simply count all the unit measurements of each side and add them together. If the unit your measuring is unknown, then leave it as units.
For example, if you were finding the perimeter of a rectangle that has the measurements 6units, 6units, 4units, and 4units, the perimeter would be 20units.
I hope this helped :)

The area and perimeter cannot be equal because the perimeter is a linear measure while an area is a square measure. However, it is perfectly possible for them to have the same numerical value. For example, a 3cm by 6 cm square has a perimeter of 2*(3+6) = 18 cm and an area or 3*6 = 18 sq cm.
