Side stems affect plant vigor. As a tomato grows, side shoots, or suckers, form in the crotches, or axils, between the leaves and the main stem. If left alone, these suckers will grow just like the main stem, producing flowers and fruit. Suckers appear sequentially, from the bottom of the plant up.
The perimeter of a two-dimensional shape is the total distance around the shape, or the sum of the length of its sides. By definition, a square is a four-sided shape with four straight sides of equal length, and four right (90Â°) angles.
The formula for finding perimeter of an object is based on the type of geometrical object. 1  Perimeter of a Square = 4L. If one side of a square measures 2 inches then the perimeter of the square is 2 in + 2 in + 2 in + 2 in or 8 inches.lol. 2  Perimeter of a Rectangle = 2W + 2L. If the width of a rectangle measures 4 inches and the length measures 2 inches then the perimeter of the rectangle would be 2 in + 2 in + 4 in + 4 in or 12 inches. Perimeter of a Triangle = A + B + C. Literally, this translates to side + side + side.
