This is a very small table indeed. Perhaps for a scale model.
Anyhow, if the perimeter is 22, it could be a table 10 inches long and one inch wide... (10 + 10 + 1 + 1 = 22) which would give an area of 10 X 1 = 10 inches ... a very long skinny table.
Or how about if one side is 5 inches... that means the side across from it is also 5 inches so that total is 10 inches... you have 22−10=12 inches left. Divide that by 2 to find out that the other two sides are 6 inches. This table is 5 inches by 6 inches, which gives an area of 5 X 6 = 30 inches.
You can come up with many different sizes, but this is two of them.
