P= w + w + L + L
OR:
P= 2w + 2L

The above is true only for parallelograms (or kites) but not for other quadrilaterals or other polygons. Triangles DO have a perimeter. And the shape need not even be a polygon - a semicircle has a perimeter.
So the correct answer is:
Perimeter = sum of all the sides of the figure.
Length plus width times two
2 x length + 2 x width
length + width x 2
Add the lengths of each side together.
On a four-sided figure (square or rectangle) this would be:
length + length + width + width, OR
2 x length PLUS 2 x width (2L + 2W)

Add up the distances of all the sides of the shape. It is like it is a fence and you add up how much fence you would need to go all the way around it.

Formula of a perimeter?
The formula for finding out perimeters of shapes is length+length+height+height=perimeter or what else you can do is (lengthx2)+(heightx2)=PERIMETER
Formula for perimeter?
(2) Length + (2) Width = Perimeter
What is the formula for the perimeter of a rhombus?
Perimeter of a rhombus = 4 x (length of one side)(Notice how closely the formula resemblesthe one for the perimeter of a square.)
What is a perimeter formula?
There are many formulas for perimeter depending on what shape you are trying to find the perimeter of. The perimeter is the distance around a shape, so one formula to find perimeter is simply adding all the side lengths together.
Formula of a rectangle?
There is no formula for a rectangle. There are formula for calculating its area, perimeter or length of diagonals from its sides, or it is possible to calculate the length of one pair of sides given the other sides and the area or perimeter, or the two lots of sides given area and perimeter and so on.

Formula for perimeter of a square?
The formula for the perimeter of a square is P equals 4 times a. 'P' represents the perimeter, and 'a' represents a side of the square.
Formula for perimeter?
(2) Length + (2) Width = Perimeter
What is Perimeter formula for rectangle?
2(length + height)= perimeter

What is the formula for finding the perimeter of a trapazoid?
Perimeter = sum of lengths of sides.
What Formula for perimeter of pentagon?
The perimeter of a pentagon is the sum of its 5 sides
What is the Perimeter formula irregular hexagon?
Perimeter = sum of the lengths of the sides.
How do you manipulate perimeter formula?
The formula for the perimeter of a shape depends on the shape. It is the sum of the lengths of all the sides that enclose the shape.
