How it works

Add the lengths of all four edges.

FORMULA

Perimeter = 2 × (width + height)

A worked example

A 5 m by 3 m rectangle has perimeter 16 m.

Formula & detailed explanation

Both lengths nonnegative and expressed in the same unit.

Calculations use decimal arithmetic with 40 significant digits internally. Choose 0–8 decimal places for the displayed result. Trailing zeros are omitted. Rounding affects only the displayed and copied result; very small values may round to zero. Accepted inputs have up to 100 characters and magnitudes from 10⁻¹⁰⁰ to 10¹⁰⁰, plus zero.
