What is the perimeter of a cone?

A cone is a 3-dimensional shape; the 3-dimensional equivalent of perimeter is area. See the related question for information on this.


How do you find the circumference from the volume?

circumference is the perimeter of a circle. a circle is 2 dimensional. volume is 3 dimensional. you need to state what shape it is. I could guess that you are talking about a cylinder. the volume is pi.r2.h, if you find the radius from the volume, you can find the perimeter of the circle by 2.pi.r


What is the perimeter of 4 and 3?

A perimeter is a measure of the total length of a closed 2-dimensional shape. Since there are only two numbers the shape may be something like a lens, and its perimeter is 4 + 3 = 7 units.


What are the similarities between area and perimeter?

They are physical characteristics of a plane shape. 3-dimensional shapes do have areas, but the concept of a perimeter is generally restricted to plane shapes.


Difference between area and perimeter and volume?

Area is a 2-dimensional measure. Perimeter is 1-dimensional and volume is 3-dimensional.


What is the perimeter of a heart?

The net of a 2 dimensional shape can be folded into a 3 dimensional shape


What is the perimeter of a 12 by 13 by 5?

The perimeter is a characteristic of a 2-dimensional object. A 12 by 13 by 5 sounds like a 3-dimensional object which would not have a perimeter.

I am not sure that there is an agreed definition of a perimeter of a 3-dimensional object.


What 3 dimensional shape has 8 faces?

the 3 dimensional shape is a octagon, because their are 8 sides.


What is the same between area and perimeter?

Very little. Both may refer to plane figures, or plane surfaces of objects in 3 (or more) dimensions. But the differences are more important. An area is a 2-dimensional concept whereas a perimeter is 1-dimensional. It is possible to increase the perimeter of a shape while reducing the area. The two measure different attributes of a shape and so there is no direct relationship between the them.
