The perimeter of any figure is the total length of all sides of the figure... 'outer boundaries'... in a circle this is called the circumference.
e.g.
Square : side x 4
Rectangle: (Length X 2) + (Width X 2)
Parallelogram: 2b + 2c ... where b & c are the lengths of one of the opposite sides.
Trapezoid: a + b + c + d ... sum of all four sides
Triangle: a + b + c ... sum of all three sides
Circle: 2 x pi x r
*** So you would 'measure the outline'. This comes in handy with irregularly-shaped perimeters.

Add all sides together to get the perimeter.
How do you figure out if the area or perimeter needs to be squared?
the perimeter of a figure is never squared, but the area of a figure is always squared. Hope this helped :)
What is the shape for a figure to have a perimeter of 20 and an area of 18?
Perimeter and area are not sufficient to determine the shape of a figure.
The distance around a figure is called the what?
The perimeter is the distance around a figureIt is normally its perimeter
