Perimeter is used in several real world situations.
For example, if your living room is thirteen feet long and twenty feet wide, you know you can't get a rug whose sides are bigger than 13x20.
Another common example is Fencing. When you are putting up a fence you don't really care about the area. You are looking for how much fencing you will need, which means you need to know how big the perimeter of the land is.
