This is not easy. If an approximation is sufficient, you could (for example):
* measure it with a piece of string, or
* approximate your oval using circular arcs and add up the lengths of those arcs.
If your oval is an ellipse you could use elliptic integrals, in which case you might want to provide specific details about the oval.
You can also use this formula:"a' and "b" are the semi major and minor axises of the oval. if the way i explained it isn't clear then go to:

that's where i got my info. And the picture isn't mine, its from that website.

What is the Perimeter of an oval?
12 x 24
How many equal sides does an oval have?
None. An oval has only one curved perimeter - no sides.
What is the perimeter or circumference of an oval or ellipse?
It isn't possible to give a generalised formula for the circumference of an ellipse in terms of elementary functions. The circumference (or perimeter) of an oval is represented by an infinite series based on multiple aspects of the oval including: * Eccentricity * Implied length ("major radius") * Implied width ("minor radius")
Can you find the volume of an oval?
Yes, you can find the volume of an oval.
How do you find the perimeter of a triangle when the perimeter is 177?
If you know the perimeter, there is no need to find it again.
