You simply have to measure all the sides of the oblong and add them together.
If the opposite sides of it are equal (making it a rectangle), then you just need to measure the two different sides and add them together, then multiplying the result by 2.
perimeter = a + b + c +d
or
perimeter = 2(a+b)

What is the perimeter of an acre?
An acre is a unit of area, but its actual shape may vary. It doesn't have to be shaped like a square. The more oblong the shape, the greater the perimeter becomes. If it is a perfect square, however, then its perimeter in feet will be four times the square root of its area in square feet. An acre is equal to 43,560 square feet. The square root of that is 208.71, so the perimeter is 834.84 feet if the acre is square. The minimum value of perimeter for a given area will always occur with a circular shape. Area = Pi x d2/4, perimeter = Pi x d, so for 1 acre perimeter comes to 739.9 ft.
