🔎 How to Find Perimeter 📏

Calculating the perimeter of a shape is simple! It’s the total distance around the shape. Here’s how you can find it:

1. Identify the Shape: Perimeter formulas vary for different shapes.
   • Rectangle: Add up all sides. Formula: P = 2 × (length+width)
   • Square: All sides are equal. Formula: P = 4 × side length
   • Triangle: Add all sides. Formula: P = side 1 + side 2 + side 3
   • Circle: For a circle, it’s called the circumference. Formula: C = 2 × π × radius
2. Measure Each Side: Use a ruler or measuring tape to get the lengths.
3. Apply the Formula: Plug the measurements into the formula for your shape.
4. Add Them Up: Sum up the lengths to get the perimeter.

Easy peasy! 👍 Whether you’re working on a math problem or planning a garden, knowing how to find the perimeter is super useful.
