When people say perimeter is the length times width do they mean the whole shape?

If people say that "perimeter is the length times width" stop listening to them. They don't know what they are talking about.
Length times width is the area, not the perimeter. For a square or rectangle, the perimeter is double the sum of the length and the width.

The perimeter has nothing to do with the area you have to times the width times height times length and that will give you the area of the shape

How are the perimeter and area of a shape related?
It really depends on the shape. Different shapes have different relationships between perimeter and area. For similar shapes, the perimeter will increase linearly with the diameter, length, or any other linear measure, while the area will increase with the square of any linear measure. For example, if one square has ten times the side-length of another, its perimeter will also be ten times longer; but its area will be 100 times larger.
What is the perimeter of 12 feet by 10 78?
If the length is 12 feet and the width is 10.78 feet, then the perimeter is: length plus width times by two. (12 + 10.78) × 2 = 45.56 feet in total length.

I think that you just times all the sides together. Try it!
