"Flat shape" is a broad description that can be categorized into several more specific descriptions. For example, polygons, circles, and the outline of an irregular object such as a giraffe can all be described as flat shapes. For polygons, which are closed shapes with 3 or more straight sides, the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of the individual sides. The perimeter of a circle is pi (3.14) times the length of the diameter of the circle. A diameter is any line that connects two points on the edge of the circle and passes through the center. Other shapes have more specific perimeters, but in general, a flat shape's perimeter is the length of string that would be required to fully mark the outline of the shape.
