When finding the perimeter on a grid, you only count the outer edges because the perimeter is defined as the total distance around the shape. The spaces inside the grid do not contribute to the boundary or outline of the shape, so they are irrelevant to the calculation. Thus, only the edges that form the outline are measured to determine the perimeter.
Because perimeter means outside.
Circle = Circumferance. Triangle = Perimeter. Perimeter for a Triangle, you count up the number of units on it.
count the grids
To count lines and spaces in a text, you typically start by identifying each line of text, which can be done by counting the number of line breaks. For spaces, count the number of gaps between words, which can be done by counting the space characters. If using a text editor or word processing software, many programs have built-in features to display line and character counts, including spaces.
if you have a picture you could count around the square
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.
Because perimeter means outside.
Because of the definition of what "perimeter" means. It's the distance around the figure ... the distance an ant has to walk to get back to where he started, if he stays on the line. The ant doesn't know or care how many spaces are inside the figure or what size they are. He's simply staying on the line all the way, watching his pedometer and keeping track of how far he has to walk to arrive at "GO" .

Spaces are not words. Nor do you type spaces into words. Spaces separate words.
Circle = Circumferance. Triangle = Perimeter. Perimeter for a Triangle, you count up the number of units on it.
You have to count how many spaces that your rock went when you threw it and if you want to make it more educational then you can count how many spaces you hopped on
LEN will count spaces in a cell as well as other characters. So there is no special way needed to count spaces as they will be included. If you are counting what is in cell A3 for example, then you would use the function: =LEN(A3) To count only the spaces in a cell and ignoring other characters, then you could try this approach: =LEN(A3)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A3," ","")) It gets the full length and then substracts the length of the text with the spaces removed.

Yes, they do
Just count the edges and multiply by the length of each.
