what is circumference perimeter?

The circumference is the distance around a circle whereas the perimeter is the distance around a polygon


The perimeter of a polygon is like the circumference of a circle?

Yes it is because the perimeter describe the outside of the figure, when also the circumference describe the outside of the circle.


What is the different between cm and perimeter?

Centimetre is a unit of length. Perimeter is the size of the border of a polygon. A circle with 1cm ray has Pi perimeter.


How do you determine area if perimeter is given?

More information is required in order to answer this question. What is the shape for which the perimeter is given? If it anything other than a circle or regular polygon it is not possible to determine the area. For a circle or regular polygon, the answer will depend on the shape.


Is the perimeter of a polygon less than the area of the polygon?

if your perimeter totals the same as 4 times pi then the maximum area that can be encompassed is equal to the perimeter. This is done by forming a circle. if you change the shape of the circle then the area will become smaller than the perimeter(circumference) if you make the circumference of the circle smaller then you will definitely decrease the area faster than you would the perimeter if you make the perimeter bigger then you will definitely increase the area faster than you would the perimeter.


How do you find the area when perimeter is given?

Unless the area is a regular polygon (or a circle) you cannot.


How is the circumference of a circle similar to the perimeter of a polygon?

In both cases, it's the distance around.


How the circumference of a circle and perimeter of a polygon are alike?

They are alike because both are just alike..


How is the formula of a polygon closely related to the formula of the area of a circle?

The area of a polygon is greater than the area of the largest circle that can be inscribed within the polygon and smaller that the area of the smallest circle in which the polygon can be enclosed. So the areas of two circles establish a lower and upper bound to the area of the polygon. In a similar fashion, the perimeter of the polygon are also bounded by the circumferences of the two circles. This also works in reverse. That is, the area of a circle lies between the area of an inscribed polygon and that of a polygon containing the circle. And, again, the same applies to the circumference/perimeter. In fact these bounds were used to calculate the value of pi.


How is a circumference of a circle like the permeter of a polygon?

I'm not entirely sure what you are meaning to ask unless you simply aren't sure of the definitions of each. The circumference of a circle is the length of the entire edge of a circle. The perimeter of a polygon is the length of the entire edge of a polygon combined.


How are the circumference of a circle and the perimeter of a polygon alike?

Both of their exterior angles add up to 360 degrees.


Is the distance around a polygon called a perimeter?

Yes, and around a circle it is the circumference.
