The perimeter of a shape is the distance around it (add up all the sides.)
An 'object' is 3 dimensional and does not have a perimeter as such. 'Perimeter' usually applies to 2-dimensional shapes only.

The perimeter of an object is the sum of all its sides.
Just add all the sides together and you have your perimeter for that object.
For example:
Find the perimeter of the rectangle with sides with lengths of 4 in and 5 in
A rectangle has 4 sides, with 2 pairs of equal-length sides
4 in + 4 in + 5 in + 5 in = 18 in
18 inches is the perimter of the rectangle

you can If the object is in two-dimension, use a rope to measure the perimeter.

add up the sides, but if it's a square, just take one and multiply it by 4.
