You add up the lengths of every side.
For example, if you have a pentagon (five sided figure) and every side is 4 inches long, you add 4+4+4+4+4=20inches.

Is it possible for the perimeter of a figure to change?
no If the shape of the object is not fixed, it would be possible to alter the shape of the perimeter, but not the length, i.e., the distance around the object being enclosed.
Is Perimeter a distance around an object?
The perimeter is the border or outer boundary around a two dimensional figure and is the length of such a boundary - a field for example, a perimeter fence
How can you figure out the length and the width if you know the perimeter?
Unless the object is symmetrical, you may not be able to. If you don't have a square or equilateral triangle type object, you can't.
What is distance around the figure is called?
If the figure is 2-dimensional, it is called the perimeter.
What is the perimeter of 8?
the perimeter means the length around an object. so your perimeter around the object you have must be 8.
Is circumference the distance around a figure?
yes but the figure is a closed curve. The distance around an object is the perimeter.

Is perimeter the length around an object?
Yes and area is the total amout inside of the figure.
What is the distance around closed figure?
The distance round a closed figure is the perimeter.
How do you figure a perimeter of a polygon?
Distance around an object. Just add up all of the measurements of a shape.
How can you figure out the length and the width if you know the perimeter?
Unless the object is symmetrical, you may not be able to. If you don't have a square or equilateral triangle type object, you can't.
How do you figure out perimeter math problems?
the perimeter is the distance around an object you add up the sides unless it is an odd shape than you could use a string and then measure that
The distance around a figure is called the?
perimeter.
How do you perimeter?
To find the perimeter of a figure, add all the lengths of the edges of the figure. The sum of the sides is the perimeter.
What is distance around the figure is called?
If the figure is 2-dimensional, it is called the perimeter.
What is the perimeter of 8?
the perimeter means the length around an object. so your perimeter around the object you have must be 8.
