Answer
Perimeter is known as the sum of lengths of all sides. Perimeter depends on the type of figures used.
Work Step by Step
The distance measured around the sides of a polygon is called its perimeter. The perimeter is usually measured by finding the sum of the lengths of the sides of the polygon.
The practical example to compute the perimeter is to calculate the cost of fencing around a closed figure and find out the cost needed to fence the closed field. The perimeter of the closed field is measured by calculating the dimensions of boundaries, where the fence can be applied.
