Although some have said Archimedes, my opinion is that the formulas for area and perimeter of a rectangle were well known before his time (300BC). The Babylonians in 1500BC knew how to create Pythagorean triples, so I wouldn't be surprised if they knew this.
Archimedes did discover more difficult formulas, such as perimeter and area of a circle, and volume of a sphere and a cone.

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.
