How to use this tool

  1. Enter first side, second side.
  2. Select Calculate to view the result.
  3. Check the method and assumptions below before using the result.

Input reference and sample values

Use the units and choices shown for each field. Sample values are provided for practice, not as recommendations.

InputFormat and unitsSample
First sideNumeric value. Unit: m. Must be greater than zero.8
Second sideNumeric value. Unit: m. Must be greater than zero.5

Result for these sample inputs

26 m

Select Try the example in the form to load these values and calculate them again. This replaces the current form inputs. Compare the result with the method and worked explanation below.

The method, explained

Perimeter = 2 × (first side + second side).

A WORKED EXAMPLE

Using first side = 8 m, second side = 5 m, the result is 26 m. Change these example inputs to match your task; use the method above to check each step.

What to keep in mind

Use the indicated units consistently. Ideal shapes are assumed; dimensions must describe the same object. Display rounding does not increase measurement precision.
