Yes, and it is called the perimeter.
If the figure is a polygon ... with sides made of straight line segments ... then the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all the sides. If part or all of the figure's boundary consists of curves, the perimeter is still the distance all around the figure, but you may need special formulas to find the lengths of the curved sections.
The 'perimeter' of any closed figure drawn on paper means the total distance around it. If the figure consists of straight lines, then the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all the straight-line pieces. If you set an ant down at a certain point on the figure and he started walking along the line, the perimeter is the distance he would have to walk in order to wind up at the point where he started.
That would be "perimeter". The perimeter is the distance around a figure, and it is calculated by adding the lengths of the different sides. For example, for a triangle, add the lengths of the three sides.
The distance around the out side of a figure is?
The distance around a figure is called the "perimeter", unless the figure is a circle - in that case, it is called the "circumference".
The distance around a closed plane figure is called the perimeter. The perimeter of a figure can be calculated by adding together the lengths of each side.

Measure the lengths of all the pieces of straight line or curves around its outline, and add them all up.

yes but the figure is a closed curve. The distance around an object is the perimeter.
The perimeter of a figure is the sum of its lengths around it.
