Not sure how the perimeter of a solid object is defined. It cannot be a path around all the edges since even with a simple polyhedron - a cube - there is no route that does not require retracing or repeating an edge. Is it the sum of the edges' lengths? And would the definition extend to polyhedra in higher dimensions?

A round shape - in 2-dimensions - does have a perimeter.

Why is a round metal bar used in the Jominy end-quench test but not other shapes?

Round shapes are used to simplify and standardize the test, and that will validate the "comparibility" of the results. Certainly other shapes (square bar, hex bar, octagaonal bar, or rectangular plate) could be used, but that would complicate the determining and reporting of the results. The idea is to get a "standard" result which can be compared to other tests. Also, (and this is the main idea) by using a round bar, the symetry through the cross section prevents differential hardening around the circumference of the shape. And it can be tested at any point about its perimeter because any circumference drawn at a right angle to the longitudinal axis of the round shape will locate a spot that has hardened the same as any other point on that perimeter. There are no "corners" or "points" around the outside that may be harder (due to more rapid cooling) than other points around a given perimeter that are away from a "point" on the perimeter.

What is the distancearound a 2 dimensional object or shape?

That is called the perimeter; in the case of round shapes such as circles or ellipses, it is usually known as the circumference.

A pizza cafe sells a 9''by5'' rectangular pizza for the same price as an 8''diameter round pizzaWhat option gives the most pizza for the money?

The 9 x 5 rectangular has Area = 45 in2, Perimeter = 28 inches.The 8" circular has Area = 50.27 in2, Perimeter = 25.1 inches.If you like cheese and toppings, take the circular; it has more area.If you like the hard end of the crust, take the rectangular; it has more perimeter.


Why are cells shaped alike?

Cells have similar shapes, such as round or rectangular, due to their need to efficiently perform their functions. The shape of a cell is often related to its specific function, such as round shapes being better suited for moving through the bloodstream, while elongated shapes are better for muscle cells that need to contract and expand. Ultimately, the shape of a cell is optimized for its specific role in the body.
