Way to Determine the Perimeter of a Polygon
A perimeter is described as the sum of the length of each side. For instance, in a quadrilateral whose sides are \(9, \ 7, \ 5\) and \(11\), the perimeter is provided by: Perimeter \(= \ 9 \ + \ 7 \ + \ 5 \ + \ 11 \ = \ 32\)
With a Regular polygon, whose sides are all of the equal length, its perimeter is described as,
Perimeter \(= \ n \times s\) Units
- where \(n \ = \ number \ of \ sides \ of \ a \ polygon\),
- and \(s \ =\) length of a side
