2. Perimeter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perimeter

   For example, the perimeter of a rectangle of width 0.001 and length 1000 is slightly above 2000, while the perimeter of a rectangle of width 0.5 and length 2 is 5. Both areas are equal to 1. Proclus (5th century) reported that Greek peasants "fairly" parted fields relying on their perimeters. [ 2 ]

3. Elementary mathematics - Wikipedia

   A perimeter is a path that surrounds a two-dimensional shape. The term may be used either for the path or its length - it can be thought of as the length of the outline of a shape. The perimeter of a circle or ellipse is called its circumference. Area is the quantity that expresses the extent of a two-dimensional figure or shape.

4. Area - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area

   The area of a plane region or plane area refers to the area of a shape or planar lamina, while surface area refers to the area of an open surface or the boundary of a three-dimensional object. Area can be understood as the amount of material with a given thickness that would be necessary to fashion a model of the shape, or the amount of paint ...

5. Equable shape - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equable_shape

   An area cannot be equal to a length except relative to a particular unit of measurement. For example, if shape has an area of 5 square yards and a perimeter of 5 yards, then it has an area of 45 square feet (4.2 m 2) and a perimeter of 15 feet (since 3 feet = 1 yard and hence 9 square feet = 1 square yard).

6. Area of a circle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_of_a_circle

   The area of a regular polygon is half its perimeter multiplied by the distance from its center to its sides, and because the sequence tends to a circle, the corresponding formula–that the area is half the circumference times the radius–namely, A = ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ × 2πr × r, holds for a circle.

7. Circumference - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circumference

   In geometry, the circumference (from Latin circumferens, meaning "carrying around") is the perimeter of a circle or ellipse. The circumference is the arc length of the circle, as if it were opened up and straightened out to a line segment. [1] More generally, the perimeter is the curve length around any closed figure.
