What is the perimeter of rectangle
Answers
The perimeter is the length of the outline of a shape. To find the perimeter of a rectangle or square you have to add the lengths of all the four sides. x is in this case the length of the rectangle while y is the width of the rectangle. The area is measurement of the surface of a shape.
Formula = 2×(l+b)
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l+b)
What is Perimeter?
The distance around a two-dimensional shape is called Perimeter. Example: the perimeter of this rectangle is 3+7+3+7 = 20. The perimeter of a circle is called the circumference.
Why the perimeter of circle is called circumference ?
If the boundary consists of straight sides , the total length of the boundary is called perimeter. If the boundary consists of curved lines or arc , the total length of the boundary is called Circumference.
Some Formulas:
Geometric Shape ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Perimeter Formula
Parallelogram.= ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2(Base + Height)
Triangle = ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀a + b + c
Rectangle =⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀2(Length + Width)
Square = ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 4a [a =Length of a side]
Trapezoid= ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ a + b + c + d [a, b, c, d being the sides of the trapezoid]
Kite= ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2a + 2b [a = Length of the first pair b = Length of the second pair]
Rhombus = ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 4 x a [a = Length of a side]
Hexagon.= ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 6 x a
