The equation for the perimeter of a shape depends on the shape itself.
For a rectangle, the perimeter can be calculated using the formula: P = 2(l + w), where l is the length and w is the width.
For a circle, the perimeter is called the circumference and can be found using the formula: C = 2πr, where r is the radius.
For other shapes, such as triangles or irregular polygons, the perimeter is found by adding the lengths of all the sides.

Do you add length plus width to get perimeter?
It depends on the shape, but I'm assuming you mean a square or rectangle. If it is not this shape, edit the question. In this equation L=Length W=Width So, to get the perimeter, you would use this equation: 2L+2W= Perimeter
Is perimeter the inside?
Perimeter is the outside of a shape
Is the perimeter the inside of a shape or the outside?
Perimeter is the outside. The area is the inside of a shape.
What does it mean to measure the perimeter of a shape?
The perimeter of a shape is the distance around the outside. For a shape with straight sides, the perimeter is the sum of the length of the sides. The perimeter of a circle is called the circumference, and is calculated by multiplying the diameter by pi.
How do you manipulate perimeter formula?
The formula for the perimeter of a shape depends on the shape. It is the sum of the lengths of all the sides that enclose the shape.

What is the value of X if the perimeter equals 75?
You cannot solve this equation without knowing the shape.
What is a perimieter?
perimeter is when you have a shape and then you have your area and that is what is in the middle of the shape and perimeter is the edge of the shape.
What is the equation if the perimeter is 100 cm?
Sum of lengths bounding the shape = 100 cm. Without information about the shape it is impossible to say anything further than that. In a very few exceptional cases, the length of individual sides can be determined as well as the area. But in order to do that it is necessary to know what equation is required. There is no THE equation. In the majorrity of cases, though, there is no direct relationship between the perimeter and the area or lengths of sides.
Is perimeter the inside?
Perimeter is the outside of a shape
What does perimeter go by?
for a 4 sided shape... w+w+L+L=perimeter perimeter is the outside of a shape. add all of the sides to get the perimeter.
Is the perimeter the inside of a shape or the outside?
Perimeter is the outside. The area is the inside of a shape.

What is the distance around a shape?
the perimeter or the circumference
How do you manipulate perimeter formula?
The formula for the perimeter of a shape depends on the shape. It is the sum of the lengths of all the sides that enclose the shape.
What is a shape with a perimeter of 14 cm?
Any 2-dimensional shape can have a perimeter of 14 cm.
Which shape has the shortest perimeter?
If you want to enclose a certain area, the shape that does it with the shortest perimeter is a circle.
