Perimeter Formulas
 |
Triangle Perimeter = a + b + c |
|
 |
Square Perimeter = 4 × a a = length of side |
|
 |
Rectangle Perimeter = 2 × (a + b) |
|
 |
Quadrilateral Perimeter = a + b + c + d |
|
 |
Circle Circumference = 2πr r = radius |
|
 |
Sector Perimeter = r(θ+2) r = radius θ = angle in radians |
|
 |
Ellipse Perimeter = very hard! |
