depending on what your shape is labled as, you add all the expressions up around the outside edge. and sides that are the same have the same expression. so, if it is a square or rectange, the sides opposite each other are the same. after putting all of these expressions together, you can then simplify the expression to give you your final answer.
eg.
a rectangle with sides 'x+2' and 'x'.
you know that the oposite sides of the rectangle are the same so now you have all the sides so:
x + x + x+ 2 + x + 2 (simplify)
4x + 4
this is your final perimeter for your rectangle as an expression =P
(other shapes with more than 4 sides can still be done as long as you can find lengths that are the sema side and then add them all together still)

How do you find the distance around a figure?
To find the distance around a figure, you calculate the perimeter. The perimeter is the total distance around the outside of a shape or figure. To find the perimeter of a rectangle or square, you add up all the sides. For a circle, you can find the perimeter by multiplying the diameter by π (pi).
Do you add or multiply to find the perimeter?
The perimeter is the length around something, add all sides together to get the length of the perimeter.
What is the distance around a shape?
the perimeter or the circumference
When x equals 4cm the perimeter of the Quadrilateral is 68cm Find the value of y?
If your shape is a rectangle then your y=30cm
What shape has a perimeter of 17cm?
Any shape you want. "Perimeter" is not some esoteric function, it is merely the total measurement of the sides of the figure.
