Write the perimeter of 3d shape
Answers
Good question!
There really is no form of perimeter for 3-Dimensional shapes. You can measure the surface area of a three dimensional shape. The perimeter of a two-dimensional shape can be defined as the minimum length a line must have to cover all sides of a shape.
Think about this in three dimensions, specifically with an infinitely thin line wrapping around a sphere or cube. This line will continue to wrap around the object, but because it has no thickness, it can’t cover the entirety of the surface.
If you were to say, what is the perimeter of the 3-Dimensional shape’s 2-Dimensional shadow, there would be something to work with.
To break it down a little more, think of the perimeter as a 1-Dimensional line enclosing a 2-Dimensional shape. The surface area is the 3-Dimensional equivalent to the perimeter. By wrapping a “shape” with one less dimension than the specified object, you get the equivalent “Perimeter”.
I hope that helped. Thank you for the question!
