Measuring Perimeter and

Circumference
The distance around a plane figure
is called its perimeter.

The perimeter of a plane figure can

be found by adding the lengths of
its sides.
The sum of the lengths of the
sides of a polygon is called the
perimeter (P) of the polygon.
A polygon is a closed figure whose
sides are segments.

A regular polygon is a polygon

having all sides congruent and all
angles congruent.
Examples of
regular
polygons and
irregular
polygons:
NAME OF NUMBER
POLYGON OF SIDES

 Formula of a Rectangle:
• Perimeter of a Rectangle with length (l) and
width (w):

𝑃 = 2𝑙 + 2𝑤

𝑙
 Example: Find the perimeter of
the polygon. 5m
