Perimeter of shapes
~8 min
Perimeter is found by adding the side lengths around the outside of a figure.
Perimeter is Distance Around
8 (length)5 (width)
Perimeter = 2 × (8 + 5) = 26
Area = 8 × 5 = 40
Perimeter is the total distance around the outside edge of a shape. It measures the length of the boundary, like a fence around a yard.
💡 Imagine an ant walking all the way around the outer edge of the shape!
