The perimeter of a polygon is the sum of all the measures of its sides.
The perimeter of a n sided polygon is ((2sqrtAsqrttan(pi/n))/sqrtn)n.
If the radius is known it is 2nRsin(180/n).
Due to no mathematical formatting it may not be very clear so I have put together a Google Doc with all the mathematical formulas at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1I--eWQlnzKbVPwKXNLpARkzxlIePWhz7VLRXnyF3t68/pub

Does a polygon with a greater area always have a greater perimeter?
No it depends on the size of the polygon
One pair of corresponding sides of two similar polygons measures 12 and 15 The perimeter of the smaller polygon is 30 Find the perimeter of the larger?
The perimeter of the larger polygon will have the same ratio to the perimeter of the smaller as the ratio of the corresponding sides. Therefore, the larger polygon will have a perimeter of 30(15/12) = 37.5, or 38 to the justified number of significant digits stated.
What is the perimeter of a square tile with sides 12 inches long?
To find the perimeter of any polygon just add the length of everyside. In this case you have 4 sides with a length of 12 in. so 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 = perimeter. or to simplify 4 * 12 = perimeter.
When is area bigger than perimeter?
It depends on the shape. Different conditions will apply for a circle, a polygon with n sides.
If a perimeter of Regular polygon has a perimeter of 35 units what is the length of each side?
Being a polygon, you need to know the number of sides. 'Polygon'; Many sides Trigon (Triangle) ; 3 sides Tetragon (Rectangle) ; 4 sides Pentagon ; 5 sides Hexagon ' 6 sides Heptagon ; 7 sides Octagon ' 8 sides Nonagon ' 9 sides Decagon ; 10 sides You need to know and select the number of sides.
How do you figure the perimeter of a polygon?
The perimeter of a polygon is the distance around the outside of the polygon. A polygon is 2-dimensional; however, perimeter is 1-dimensional and is measured in linear units.To find the perimeter of a polygon, take the sum of the length of each side.
What is the difference between finding the perimeter of a polygon and finding the area of a polygon?
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.
What is the sum of the lengths of the sides of a polygon?
The sum of the lengths of the sides of a polygon is called the perimeter.
How do you find perimeter of a polygon?
add the sides of the polygon.
How do you find the permeter of a polygon?
The perimeter of a polygon is the sum of the length of each of its sides. If the polygon is a regular polygon the you can calculate the perimeter as [number of sides] *[the length of one side]
What is the perimeter of a polygon with the area of 7?
If you restrict yourself to integers, the perimeter of a four-sided polygon is 16.
What is the name of a polygon that has the perimeter of 16cm?
Any type of polygon can have a perimeter of 16 cm. There is no special name for polygons whose perimeter is 16 cm.
If a regular polygon has a side length of 2.75m what is the perimeter?
If the polygon has n sides, then the perimeter is 2.75*n metres.
How do you know that area is this and perimeter is that?
You know because the area is the distance inside a polygon and a perimeter is the distance outside a polygon.
What measurement does a polygon have?
A polygon has lengths, angles, a perimeter and area.
The distance around the outside of a polygon is called?
perimeter
Perimeter of a polygon?
The total distance around the outside of any polygon is its perimeter. It can be calculated by adding the lengths of each side.
