Studdy Solution
STEP 1
1. The concept of perimeter applies to polygons.
2. The concept of circumference applies to circles.
3. Both terms refer to the boundary length of a shape.
STEP 2
1. Define perimeter.
2. Define circumference.
3. Explain the relationship between perimeter and circumference.
STEP 3
Define perimeter:
The perimeter of a polygon is the total length of its sides. It is a measure of the distance around the polygon.
STEP 4
Define circumference:
The circumference of a circle is the distance around the circle. It is analogous to the perimeter of a polygon but specifically for circular shapes.
STEP 5
Explain the relationship between perimeter and circumference:
Both perimeter and circumference describe the boundary length of a shape. While perimeter is used for polygons, circumference is used for circles. They both represent the concept of measuring the distance around a shape.
