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.
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.
Perimeter is the sum of length of all sides of a geometrical figure.
Perimeter is the outside of a shape
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.
Perimeter is the outside. The area is the inside of a shape.
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.
the perimeter or the circumference
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.
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.
If you want to enclose a certain area, the shape that does it with the shortest perimeter is a circle.
Any 2-dimensional shape can have a perimeter of 14 cm.
