Regular polygon perimeter calculator

Perimeter is the distance around a two-dimensional shape.

A regular polygon is a convex polygon with all sides and all angles between adjacent sides equal.

A regular polygon is a polygon that has all its sides of equal length and all its angles of equal measure. The perimeter of a regular polygon is simply the sum of the lengths of all its sides. The formula for the perimeter of a regular polygon is:

P = n × a

where P is the perimeter, n is the number of sides, and a is the length of each side.
