Understanding Perimeters
The perimeter is the total distance around the edge of a geometric figure. Whether you're walking around a square park, or framing a circular garden, you're measuring the perimeter.
Perimeters are fundamental in geometry and find applications in architecture, planning, and various fields of science.
Common Perimeters Formulas
- Square: P = 4 × side
- Rectangle: P = 2 × (length + width)
- Circle: P = 2 × π × radius
- Triangle: P = side1 + side2 + side3
