<p> Perimeter</p><p>Warm-Up</p><p>In a rectangle, the length is 4 meters longer than the width. If the perimeter is 84 meters, find the length and the width.</p><p>Vocabulary</p><p>44) Perimeter</p><p>45) Circumference</p><p>Perimeter of Polygons</p><p>The distance around a two-dimensional object is called its perimeter. To find the perimeter, you must add up the lengths of all the outer edges of a plane figure. Do not include any inner edges, such as diagonals, and make sure you include all the sides in your calculation.</p><p>Examples</p><p>1 2 Common Formulas to Memorize</p><p>Perimeter = 2L + 2W Perimeter = 4s</p><p>Exercise</p><p>3 Algebraic Expressions of Perimeter</p><p>Model Problems</p><p>1) The second side of a triangle is one less than the length of the first side, and the third side is twice the length of the second side.
