What is the the difference between a polygon and perimeter?
A polygon is a closed plane figure that is bound by at least three straight sides. Perimeter is the total lengths of the sides of a shape. They are different because a polygon refers to the shape, and perimeter refers to the distance around a shape. The perimeter refers to the path traveled around the outside of some area. All polygons have a perimeter. Shapes that are not polygons also have a perimeter -- such as circles, semicircles, and the shapes of most letters.
What is the perimeter of a shape?
The perimeter is the total distance around the outside of a 2D shape. You calculate it by adding all the lengths of the sides together.So, for example.If I had a rectangle, the length was 11cm, and the width was 5cm.To work out the perimeter of this rectangle, I would simply add all the sides together. So, 11cm+11cm+5cm+5cm=33cmSimple! Hope I helped!
