"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.

What is a perimieter?
perimeter is when you have a shape and then you have your area and that is what is in the middle of the shape and perimeter is the edge of the shape.
Can you give me a figure to find the perimeter?
Perimeter of what? A circle diameter times Pi. Another shape the sum of all sides.
What is the perimeter of this shape 7cm x 10cm equal?
The perimeter of a shape is the sum of the lengths of all its sides. In this case, the shape is a rectangle with sides measuring 7cm and 10cm. To find the perimeter, you add up all the sides: 7cm + 7cm + 10cm + 10cm = 34cm. Therefore, the perimeter of this shape is 34cm.
