well since we know that a square has the same length all around and they gave us 10 lets use that:)
So in order to find area we need to multiply length times width sooo
Area = length x width
since we already know that the width and length are both 10 lets plug them in
10 x 10 = 100
so our area for our square is 100units²
now lets put that aside for now.. and work on our perimeter
so heres a picture of what our square would look like
____10____

**************
10
The formula for perimeter is all of the sides added up so lets do that:)
10 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 40!
so our perimeter for this square is 40units
now lets compare our two totals
area = 100units²
perimeter = 40units
which one is bigger?
and of course area is bigger!
and finally lets answer your question:
area is bigger because after finding the totals, area equaled 100units² while the perimeter was only 40 units.
if this helped you then dont forget tooo
MARK ME THE BRAINLIEST!:D
