The perimeter of a circle is called the circumference, although that term is used by some authors to refer to the perimeter of an arbitrary curved geometric figure.
The perimeter of a region is implemented in the Wolfram Language as Perimeter[reg].
The perimeters of some common laminae are summarized in the table below. In the table, is the eccentricity of an ellipse, is its semimajor axis, and is a complete elliptic integral of the second kind.
