you will need a ruler or tape measure
It is not in all but a trivial sense - that they are both to do with finding the perimeter!

In problems involving perimeter, the lines typically represent the boundaries of a geometric shape. The perimeter itself is calculated by adding the lengths of these lines, which can be the sides of polygons or the edges of other shapes. Understanding how to measure and sum these lengths is crucial for determining the total distance around the figure. Essentially, the lines are the physical representations of the dimensions necessary for perimeter calculation.
Perimeter = sum of lengths of sides.
Finding the perimeter of a polygon is finding how far it is in total along all the edges of the polygon; whereas finding the area of a polygon is finding how much space the polygon covers. The perimeter of a polygon forms the boundary around the area of the polygon.
You find the perimeter of a triangle by adding all the sides. There is no special rule for finding the perimeter.
Yes, for the perimeter of a polygon, you add up all the sides.
Perimeter = 4*n whereas n is the length of its side
No, perimeter is always measured in units of length (L)
The formula for finding out perimeters of shapes is length+length+height+height=perimeter or what else you can do is (lengthx2)+(heightx2)=PERIMETER
If you want the perimeter of a quadrilateral, then finding the midpoints is a complete waste of time! Simply add together the lengths of the four sides.
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.
