Perimeter
A perimeter is either a path that encompasses/surrounds/outlines a shape (in two dimensions) or its length (one-dimensional). The perimeter of a circle or an ellipse is called its circumference.
Circumferencenoun
(geometry) The line that bounds a circle or other two-dimensional figure
Circumferencenoun
(geometry) The length of such a line
Circumferencenoun
(obsolete) The surface of a round or spherical object
Circumferencenoun
(graph theory) The length of the longest cycle of a graph
Circumferenceverb
To include in a circular space; to bound.
Circumferencenoun
The line that goes round or encompasses a circular figure; a periphery.
Circumferencenoun

Circumferencenoun
The external surface of a sphere, or of any orbicular body.
Circumferenceverb
To include in a circular space; to bound.
Circumferencenoun
the size of something as given by the distance around it
Circumferencenoun
the length of the closed curve of a circle
Circumferencenoun
the enclosing boundary of a curved geometric figure, especially a circle.
Circumferencenoun
the distance around something
Circumference
In geometry, the circumference (from Latin circumferens, meaning ) is the perimeter of a circle or ellipse. That is, the circumference would be the arc length of the circle, as if it were opened up and straightened out to a line segment.
