It is the boundary of a two-dimensional shape. Moreover, it has been defined to be the sum of all the length of the sides of the object. The perimeter of that shape will be the algebraic sum of the length of each side. Formulas are available for the various shapes in geometry.

Geometric shapes and formulas:

Geometric Shape	Perimeter Formula	Matrics
Parallelogram	2(Base+Height)	-
Triangle	a+b+c	a, b, and c are side lengths
Rectangle	2(Length+Width)	-
Square	4a	a=length of side
Trapezoid	a+b+c+d	a, b, c. d=sides of Trapezoid
Kite	2a+2b	a=length of first pair b=length of second pair
Rhombus	4 x a	a=length of side
Hexagon	6 x a	a=length of side

Conclusion

Perimeter is the distance all around a shape. Among the myriad of formulas related to perimeters in basic geometric shapes, there lies an understanding that will help in solving problems related to distances, boundaries, and measurements.
