What's the formula to perimeter

Sagot :

The formula is:

Perimeter = (the distance all the way around the outside of the figure) .

How to calculate the distance all the way around the outside of the figure
is different for every shape.

A few of them are:

Square . . . . . 4 x the length of one side

Rectangle . . . . . (2) x (length + width)

Circle . . . . . (2 pi) x (radius)

etc.
