Perimeter
Perimeter is the distance around a two-dimensional shape.
Example 1: the perimeter of this rectangle is 7+3+7+3 = 20
Example 2: the perimeter of this regular pentagon is 3+3+3+3+3 = 5×3 = 15
The perimeter of a circle is called the circumference: Circumference = 2π × radius |

Perimeter Formulas
 |
Triangle Perimeter = a + b + c |
|
 |
Square Perimter = 4 × a a = length of side |
|
 |
Rectangle Perimeter = 2 × (w + h) w = width h = height |
|
 |
Quadrilateral Perimeter = a + b + c + d |
|
 |
Circle Circumference = 2πr r = radius |
|
 |
Sector Perimeter = r(θ+2) r = radius θ = angle in radians |
