1. Perimeter

2. Learning Goals
LG: Develop and apply a formula for determining the perimeter of polygons
Kid Friendly: Be able to find the perimeter of a non curved shape
What I think I know:

3. Definition Perimeter: the distance around a two-dimensional shape
The perimeter of a shape means adding up the length of each side

4. For Example

5. Equations
There are specific equations you can use to find certain perimeters
If your shape is a REGULAR polygon than you know that all of the sides are the same. That means you could take the length of each side and multiply by the number of sides on the shape
If your shape is an IRREGULAR polygon you will need to add the length of every side together

6. Specific Equations The equation to find the perimeter of a square is:
4 x the length of one side 4s
The equation to find the perimeter of a rectangle is:
2 x the length + 2 x the width
2l + 2w
