The term is "perimeter", and it is the sum of the lengths of the sides. Note that if the object in question is a circle, the perimeter is called the "circumference."

Perimeter
a line used to mark the outside of an object
The abbreviation of "perimeter" is "per." It is commonly used in mathematical contexts to represent the total distance around the outside of a shape or object. The perimeter can be calculated by adding together the lengths of all the sides of the shape.
The distance travelled by an object in a given time is given by:Distance = Speed * TimeAlternatively for an object that is accelerating:Distance = (Speed of object before acceleration is applied * Time) + (0.5 * Acceleration * Time squared)If the object is accelerating from speed zero, the first set of brackets is irrelevant.Also, if the object is falling to the ground, acceleration = 9.81
