Perimeter

  • Add every side
  • Rectangle: P = 2l + 2w
  • Square: P = 4s
  • Triangle: add all three sides

Circumference

  • C = 2πr or C = πd
  • Use π ≈ 3.14 unless told otherwise
  • Diameter = twice the radius

Composite Shapes

  • Trace the outside edge only — interior lines are not part of the perimeter

Units

  • Perimeter is a length — cm, in, m — never squared
