How do you figure the perimeter of a polygon?
The perimeter of a polygon is the distance around the outside of the polygon. A polygon is 2-dimensional; however, perimeter is 1-dimensional and is measured in linear units.To find the perimeter of a polygon, take the sum of the length of each side.
How do you find the area of a polygon?
To find the area of a polygon, take half of the length of the perimeter and multiply it by the apothem.Apothem= the measure from the side of the figure to the center (like the radius).An expression is A=ap/2
What is the difference between finding the perimeter of a polygon and finding the area of a polygon?
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.
What is the sum of the lengths of the sides of a polygon?
