Perimeter simply refers to the path or way that surrounds the entire shape, and it is often used to determine the length of a certain path that is being asked in the problem. The perimeter of different shapes have different varying formulas, hence we take a look at the few formula for the perimeter.

Perimeter of a square:

P = 4l

l = side

Perimeter of a rectangle:

P = 2l + 2w

l = length

w =width
