There is no short cut. Measure the length of each side and sum the lengths together.

You may be lucky and the irregular polygon may have sides of the same length but different angles - and that will reduce the effort required..

How do you find the Perimeter of a polygon with only the area?

Different polygons have different relationships between perimeter and area. For example, if we assume regular polygons, an equilateral triangle and a square have different perimeters for the same area. If you allow irregular polygons, the variety is even bigger.


If the area is 350square feet what is the perimeter?

There is insufficient information to answer the question. For a given area, the perimeter depends upon the shape. For a given area, the circle will have the smallest perimeter. For polygons, regular polygons will have a smaller perimeter than an irregular one of the same area. Also, for regular polygons, the greater the number of sides, the smaller the perimeter.

How do you find the perimeter and area of an irregular shape?

You break it up into smaller shapes which are less irregular. If these are more regular, you can calculate their contribution to the perimeter, and their area. You can then add these together.

what is the difference between irregular polygons and regular polygons?

Regular polygons have all sides equal in length but an irregular polygon does not have all sides equal.


What are three irregular polygons?

irregular polygons are just polygons that do not have equal angles and side so a scaling and isosceles triangles are 2 and trapezoid is another.


What is the difference between regular and irregular triangles?

Regular polygons have all equal length sides and irregular polygons do not.
