To ensure that the perimeter is not measured too short or too long +++ Yes - you need to return precisely to the starting-point.
Perimeter is a term that describes the total length of a 2-dimensional figure. It is usually the distance that you would need to travel to go all the way around an object and get back to your starting point. The number of feet in it will depend on how big it is. A postage stamp will have a perimeter of around 10 centimetres, a field may have a perimeter of several kilometres.

Perimeter means the distance around something. For example, if you want to find the perimeter of your home, start at one place on the outside of your home (for example the right side of the front doorway) and measure from that point all the way around your home until you get back to that place. In geometry, we often find the perimeter of many shapes. To do this, find the distance around the outside of the shape from one starting point all the way around the shape until you get back to the same starting point.
Remember that it goes counterclockwise in a C shape, starting with the first quadrant.
