What does circumference mean in mathematics? What is side length?
The length integral of the edge around a finite area is called the perimeter, which is the length of a graph. The perimeter of a polygon is also equal to the sum of all the edges of the graph.

Side length refers to the length of each side of a plane figure.

If it is a triangle with the same area, the perimeter of an equilateral triangle is the shortest; If it is a quadrilateral with the same area, the perimeter of the square is the shortest; If pentagons with the same area are used, the perimeter of regular pentagons is the shortest; If you use any polygon with the same area, the circumference of a regular circle is the shortest.

Common units of perimeter and side length are millimeter (mm), centimeter (cm), decimeter (dm), kilometer (km), meter (m), micron (micron), nanometer (nm) and so on.

Perimeter calculation formula

Circle: C=πd=2πr (d is diameter, r is radius, π).

The circumference of a triangle is C = a+b+c(abc is three sides of a triangle).

Quadrilateral: C=a+b+c+d(abcd is the side length of quadrilateral). .

Rectangle: C=2(a+b) (a is long and b is wide).

Square: C=4a(a is the side length of the square).

Polygon: C= sum of all sides.
