Under the Hood
How Perimeter Calculation Works
Perimeter is the total distance around the outside edge of a shape. The calculation method depends on the shape and the measurements available.
01
For shapes with straight sides, the tool adds the required side lengths together. For a circle, the circle perimeter calculation uses its radius or diameter to determine the distance around the circumference.
02
If you want to calculate perimeter, make sure the measurements are entered correctly and that the selected shape matches the object you are measuring.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
A perimeter calculator is a tool that finds the total distance around the outside of a shape using its measurements.
To understand how to calculate perimeter, add the lengths of all the outside sides of a shape. The formula can vary depending on the shape.
Yes. A circle perimeter calculator can find the circumference using the circle's radius or diameter.
Yes. A diameter perimeter calculator can use the diameter of a circle to determine its circumference.
Area and perimeter are different measurements, but both can be calculated for the same shape when the required dimensions are available.
When calculating perimeter of a square, multiply the length of one side by four because all four sides have the same length.
