You find perimeter by adding all the sides of a figure.
If the figure is a polygon ... with sides made of straight line segments ... then the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all the sides. If part or all of the figure's boundary consists of curves, the perimeter is still the distance all around the figure, but you may need special formulas to find the lengths of the curved sections.
To find the perimeter of a figure, add up the lengths of all of its sides.
If the figure is 2-dimensional, it is called the perimeter.
You can do this by simply adding all of the lengths of the sides.
To find the perimeter of a figure, add all the lengths of the edges of the figure. The sum of the sides is the perimeter.
You find perimeter by adding all the sides of a figure.
Find the distance of each side and add to find the total perimeter.
use a ruler!!!!how do you use a ruler with a semicircle EDIT: Assuming you can measure the length of the straight side.. to find the perimeter - treat it as a whole circle, and find the circumference through multiplying the diameter (straight edge) by Pi. Then - divide that figure by 2, and add on the length of the straight side ! Snakester1962 (Supervisor)
To find the distance around a figure, you calculate the perimeter. The perimeter is the total distance around the outside of a shape or figure. To find the perimeter of a rectangle or square, you add up all the sides. For a circle, you can find the perimeter by multiplying the diameter by π (pi).
It means you have found the distance around that figure.
There is no way to find perimeter from a 3D figure. However, you can find the perimeter of a side of a triangular prism by using perimeter formulas for a parallelogram or triangle.
Divide the irregular figure into manageable pieces and work out their individual areas, sum the areas to that of the original figure. Measure the perimeter.
To find the perimeter of two-dimensional shapes, add the lengths of all the sides together. The sum is the perimeter of the figure.
We use perimeter to measure the length and breadth so that we can easily find out the measurement of a figure
The distance round a closed figure is the perimeter.
If the figure is a polygon ... with sides made of straight line segments ... then the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all the sides. If part or all of the figure's boundary consists of curves, the perimeter is still the distance all around the figure, but you may need special formulas to find the lengths of the curved sections.
