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.
add all the sides ???
Perimeter is the distance around the outside. Area is the space inside. By multiplying length times width The area is found. Perimeter is the sum of sides The distance all around.
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)
Multiple of total no of sides and length of each side.
perimeter is the measure around the figure; area is the measure within the figure formula: perimeter: length+length+width+width=perimeter (for square or rectangle) area: length times width= area ( for square or rectangle)
Yes, for the perimeter of a polygon, you add up all the sides.
Area of regular polygon: 0.5*apothem*perimeter
add all the sides ???
A polygon is a closed plane figure that is bound by at least three straight sides. Perimeter is the total lengths of the sides of a shape. They are different because a polygon refers to the shape, and perimeter refers to the distance around a shape. The perimeter refers to the path traveled around the outside of some area. All polygons have a perimeter. Shapes that are not polygons also have a perimeter -- such as circles, semicircles, and the shapes of most letters.

A = (1/2)Pa A being the area, P being the perimeter of the regular polygon, and the apothem length being a.

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.
That's because "perimeter" means the distance around something - not the spaces inside. If you count squares inside a figure, you are finding the AREA, not the PERIMETER.
The formula is:Perimeter = (length of one side) x (number of sides)
