Question

How do you find Perimeter?

Answer 1

Finding the perimeter:

Perimeter: The perimeter is the total length of the outline of a shape.

The perimeter of a geometric figure can always be calculated by adding together the length of each side of the given figure.

For Example, we can calculate the perimeter of a rectangle with the length $4$cm and breadth $2$cm as:

Perimeter $=4+4+2+2$

$$\begin{gathered} =2\left(4+2\right) \\ =2\times 6 \\ =12cm \end{gathered}$$

Hence, we can find the perimeter by adding the length of each side of the figure.
