add all the sides ???
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.
The formula is:Perimeter = (length of one side) x (number of sides)
Multiple of total no of sides and length of each side.
The general formula isPerimeter = (sum of the lengths of all sides)In the special case of a regular polygon,Perimeter = (length of one side) x (number of sides)
add all the sides ???
Area of regular polygon: 0.5*apothem*perimeter

Multiple of total no of sides and length of each side.
A = (1/2)Pa A being the area, P being the perimeter of the regular polygon, and the apothem length being a.

Yes, for the perimeter of a polygon, you add up all the sides.
for perimeter all you do is add up all the lengths of the sides.
The formula for finding the area (A) of a regular polygon when its perimeter (p) and apothem (a) are known is: A=(pa)/2 Therefore, when the figures are put into the formula it becomes: A=(20 x 3)/2 A=60/2 A=30 square feet
Perimeter = sum of lengths of sides.
The perimeter is the sum of the sides of a polygon. So, to find the perimeter of a pentagon, you need only to add up the 5 side lengths. In the event the pentagon is regular (all equal sides and angles) then you can multiply the measure of the side by 5 to get the perimeter.
