How the letters that say PERIPHERY that are related to perimeter because the letters have a border around the letters. That is how their related!

I know that periphery and perimeter are related because they have the "peri" in the beginning of the word. In SM it said what is the perimeter of this shape?
Perimeter means the outside (periphery)!
Elijah says...
Periphery and perimeter are the same because they both have the 4 letters peri as in "circumference, outer surface", and they have to do with math, for example: the perimeter of a square is the periphery the square.

perimeter is periphery and in synonyms is perimeter.

I think the words periphery and perimeter are relevant
to each other because perimeter means you count around the figure. Periphery means something or someone is on the outside of something. For example, our Weather Station is on the periphery of our classroom window. An example for perimeter is... you count the perimeter of this figure.
