To calculate the perimeter of a rectangle, add the lengths of all four of its sides. For the rectangle shown, the side lengths are 2 ft, 6 ft, 2 ft, and 6 ft, giving the expression P=2+6+2+6.
Conditions: Use all side lengths of the shape.; Units must be consistent; here all lengths are in feet.

Perimeter is defined as the total distance around the outside boundary of a shape. In the video's example, this is demonstrated by tracing the full outer edge of a rectangle.
Conditions: Applies to closed shapes such as the rectangle shown.; In this video, the example uses feet as the unit of measure.
