In this paper we shall explicitly calculate the formula of the algebraic presentation of an embedding of the Teichmiiller space ${\Im}(M)$ into the Goldman space g(M). From this algebraic presentation, we shall show that the Goldman's length parameter on g(M) is an isometric extension of the Fenchel-Nielsen's length parameter on ${\Im}(M)$.

A convex $RP^n$-structure on a smooth anifold M is a representation of M as a quotient of a convex domain $\Omega \subset RP^n$ by a discrete group $\Gamma$ of collineations of $RP^n$ acting properly on $\Omega$. When M is a closed surface of genus g > 1, then the equivalence classes of such structures form a moduli space $B(M)$ homeomorphic to an open cell of dimension 16(g-1) (Goldman [2]). This cell contains the Teichmuller space $T(M)$ of M and it is of interest to know what of the rich geometric structure extends to $B(M)$. In [3], a symplectic structure on $B(M)$ is defined, which extends the symplectic structure on $T(M)$ defined by the Weil-Petersson Kahler form.
