What bothers me is that you have to go 360 degrees to come full
circle, 360 degrees to measure the square, but you only have to travel
180 to perimeter a triangle and yet they are all enclosed spaces.
Now I'm not going to sleep until I've figured it out.

It's not true. 360 for a circle, 270 for a square and 180+alpha for a
triangle where alpha is the angle at the corner from which you start.

I'm just getting over the parallel lines not meeting thing.

Only in a Euclidean universe. Out here in the real world things are
different.

Where do you get 270? Four corners 90' each = 360.

You don't need to turn the last corner.
