What is Perimeter
Perimeter is the length of a closed path that outlines a two dimensional shape.
For curved 2D shapes such as circle and ellipse, the perimeter is called as their circumference. By calculating perimeter of a region, one can determine the length required to surround that region on its boundaries.
Area and Perimeter of Shapes | Formula and Examples
Area and Perimeter mostly relate to 2-dimensional shapes. By learning about the areas of 2D shapes, we can easily determine the surface areas of 3D bodies and perimeter helps us to know the length required to cover the boundary of any 2D closed shape.
In this article, we are going to learn how to find the Area and Perimeter of different shapes, with the help of solved examples.
