Perimeter of a circle is calculated as Pi (3.14) times the diameter of the circle, or P = Pi x D. The perimeter of a square is 4 times the length of one side (or the length of each side added together). The perimeter of any other regular polygon is the length of the sides added together.

How do you find the perimeter and area of a irregular figure?
Divide the irregular figure into manageable pieces and work out their individual areas, sum the areas to that of the original figure. Measure the perimeter.
When finding the perimeter of a figure on a grid why do you not count the spaces inside the grid?
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.
