To find the perimeter of any shape, simply add the lengths of the individual line segments together. To find the length of an individual line segment (x1,y1)-(x2,y2) simply compute the square root of (x1-x2)2 + (y1-y2)2.

How do you find the perimeter and area for complex shapes without a grid?
To find the perimeter and areas of complex shape without a grid you should divide the shape into simple shapes and find the area of each shape alone and then add up the areas all together to get the area of the whole shape. Example: If there is a shape that can be divided into 2 triangles and 1 rectangle then you will find the area of each triangle alone and then the area of the rectangle then add up all the areas together.
How do you find the perimeter of a triangle with grid paper?

What is a perimeter formula?
There are many formulas for perimeter depending on what shape you are trying to find the perimeter of. The perimeter is the distance around a shape, so one formula to find perimeter is simply adding all the side lengths together.
What is the perimeter for a cone?
how can you find the perimeter of a cone i.e. a 3d shape!
How do find perimeter?
Perimeter = The sum of the lengths of all sides of a shape
When finding the perimeter of a figure on a grid why do you not count the spaces inside the grid?
That's because "perimeter" means the distance around something - not the spaces inside. If you count squares inside a figure, you are finding the AREA, not the PERIMETER.
How do you find the perimeter when circumference is given?
When the shape is a circle, then the perimeter is called"circumference".The circumference IS the perimeter of a circle.
