No CommentsHow to Find the Perimeter
Description
This video shows the formula for finding the perimeter of a rectangle. The video gives a clear explanation of how to find the perimeter. Two example problems are provided in the video.
Overview
The perimeter of a shape is really just the outline of the shape. It can be found by adding up the lengths of all the sides of a shape – so for a rectangle, you would add two values for the length and two values for the width. For a triangle you would add together the width for each of the three sides. This can be done for every shape, except for a circle. The perimeter of a circle is called the circumference, and it has its own formula.
