LEARNING ABOUT PERIMETER

The study of 2 dimensional shapes and 3 dimensional solids comes under Geometry. There are many characteristics of 2 D shapes like:

• Area
• Perimeter
• Sides
• Diagonals etc

The computation of the Perimeter is one of the important concepts under the topics. Perimeter is basically the lines which define the 'boundary' or the 'limit' of a 2 dimensional figure. It gives the scope of the 2-D 'space' occupied by the geometric figure.

There are different geometric figures:

• Triangles
• Square
• Rectangle
• Circle
• Rhombus
• Trapezium etc.

Every geometric figure has a different formula of perimeter. Students can learn how to find the perimeter of a geometric figure.
