Some shapes have names and can de defined by providing information about various dimensions. But that applies to only a very small minority of shapes. Most shapes are a complicated mix of smaller shapes. Just think of you own shape!

The perimeter is the length of the boundary of a 2-dimensional shape. It can be calculated by adding together the lengths of all the sides of the shape.

71.8 metres does not define a shape and so does not have any particular perimeter.


What is a perimieter?

perimeter is when you have a shape and then you have your area and that is what is in the middle of the shape and perimeter is the edge of the shape.


What is the perimeter of 8.2m?

The perimeter is a measure of the total distance around a shape. If you mean a shape with a perimeter of 8.2 meters, then the perimeter is simply 8.2 meters. However, if you are asking for the perimeter of a specific shape, please provide more details about the shape and its dimensions.


Can you define perimeter?

Perimeter is the sum of length of all sides of a geometrical figure.


Is perimeter the inside?

Perimeter is the outside of a shape


What does perimeter go by?

for a 4 sided shape... w+w+L+L=perimeter perimeter is the outside of a shape. add all of the sides to get the perimeter.


What is the premeter of 24 and 18?

I assume the question is about perimeter rather than premeter. A perimeter is a measure of closed shapes and, unfortunately, two measures do not define a closed shape. It cannot be a polygon because a polygon must have at least three sides and if it is not a polygon there is not enough information to ascertain the shape.


Is the perimeter the inside of a shape or the outside?

Perimeter is the outside. The area is the inside of a shape.


What does it mean to measure the perimeter of a shape?

The perimeter of a shape is the distance around the outside. For a shape with straight sides, the perimeter is the sum of the length of the sides. The perimeter of a circle is called the circumference, and is calculated by multiplying the diameter by pi.


How do you find area and perimeter with an algorithm?

To find the area and perimeter of a shape using an algorithm, you first need to define the shape's properties. For example, for a rectangle, you can use the formulas: area = length × width and perimeter = 2 × (length + width). The algorithm should take the necessary dimensions as input, compute the area and perimeter using these formulas, and then return the results. This approach can be adapted for different shapes by using their specific formulas.

How do you manipulate perimeter formula?

The formula for the perimeter of a shape depends on the shape. It is the sum of the lengths of all the sides that enclose the shape.
