The perimeter is defined as the sum of all the sides of any polygon.

A rectangle is a polygon with 4 sides and 2 pairs of parallel sides. Therefore, in order to find the perimeter of any rectangle, we can either add up all the sides given to you or use a formula which states that:

P = 2L + 2W
Where,
L is the length of the rectangle and W is the width of a triangle.

For example:
A triangle with length = 5 cm and Width = 3 cm.
The Perimeter will be:
P = 2×5 + 2×3
P = 10 + 6
P = 16 cm
