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.
Assuming that you are talking about a regular hexagon, the equation is (1/2)ap, a being the apothem and pbeing the perimeter. You can also use that equation for any other regular polygon.
add all the sides ???
Multiple of total no of sides and length of each side.
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.

Yes, for the perimeter of a polygon, you add up all the sides.
Area of regular polygon: 0.5*apothem*perimeter
Assuming that you are talking about a regular hexagon, the equation is (1/2)ap, a being the apothem and pbeing the perimeter. You can also use that equation for any other regular polygon.

A = (1/2)Pa A being the area, P being the perimeter of the regular polygon, and the apothem length being a.
Multiple of total no of sides and 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 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.
The formula is:Perimeter = (length of one side) x (number of sides)
The equation is #of sides x (#of sides - 3) divided by 2. Equation: N x (N-3) 2
The sum of the lengths of the sides of a polygon is called the perimeter.
