Polygons are some-sided figures, with line segments as their sides. Learn how to find the perimeter of a polygon in this article.
Step by step guide to find perimeter of Polygons
- Perimeter of a square \(=4×side=4s\)
- Perimeter of a rectangle \(=2(width \ + \ length)\)
- Perimeter of trapezoid \(= a+b+c+d\)
- Perimeter of a regular hexagon \(=6a\)
- Perimeter of a parallelogram \(=2(l+w)\)
Example 1:
Find the perimeter of following regular hexagon. 
Solution:
The perimeter of Pentagon \(=6a\)
Perimeter of Pentagon \(=6a=6×5=30\) m
Example 2:
Find the perimeter of following regular hexagon. 
Solution:
Perimeter of Pentagon \(=6a\)
Perimeter of Pentagon \(=6a=6×3=18\) m
