Recteco Picture

edit

So I added an image showing how to calculate the perimeter of a rectangle. Do we need more diagrams? --Thinboy00 @196, i.e. 03:42, 26 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

It would be nice to have an image of a general polygon and/or a general path. Unfortunately I have some problems with LaTeX in Inkscape so I won't be adding these soon. I think we're fine for now, though. Feel free to remove the request tag. --Swift (talk) 14:39, 26 February 2009 (UTC) I added some simple shapes, and removed the tag. xnn (talk) 20:34, 9 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Removed poor definition

This definition removed  , where   is the length of the path and   is an infinitesimal line element. Bcan produce equations with no algebraic solution.

For example, consider the exponential curve  . The removed definition above gives:

 

This not an algebraic equation

Perimeter of n-dimension objects

edit

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caccioppoli_set, can we conclude that the perimeter of a cuboid is the sum of its edges?

The term circumference is only used for circles, not ellipses. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.36.193.220 (talk) 01:49, 22 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
