QGIS can help you calculate these information automatically, without using
the Measure tool and report its values manually. Use the $area or
$perimeter/$length functions from the field calculator (see doc at
http://docs.qgis.org/2.18/en/docs/user_manual/working_with_vector/attribute_table.html#field-calculator).
Matthias answer uses these functions automatically at creation but you can
process the calculation any time, in one-click.
