add all sides


use distance formula to fnd distance: sqrt((x1-x2)^2+(y1-y2)^2)
if is wrong,i'm sorry,i think this is right

Answer:

Perimeter = 13.27 unit

Explanation:

We have to find the perimeter of the shape given in the figure.

Coordinates of J are ( -3, 4 ) and K are (-1, 6)

Then JK =
\sqrt{(x-x')^(2)+(y-y')^(2)}

=
√((-3+1)^2+(6-4)^2)

=
√(4+4)

=
2√(2)

Coordinates of K are (-1,6) and for ∠ are (1, 1)

KL =
√((1+1)^2+(1-6)^2)

=
√(2^2+5^2)

=
√(29)

Coordinates of M are (-1, 3) and of ∠ are (1, 1)

∠M =
√((1+1)^2+(1-3)^2)

=
√(4+4)

=
2√(2)

Coordinates of M are (-1, 3) and J are (-3, 4)

MJ =
√((-1+3)^2+(3-4)^2)

=
√(4+1)

=
√(5)

Then perimeter = JK + KL + LM + MJ

=
2√(2) +
√(29) +
2√(2) +
√(5)

=
4√(2) +
√(29) +
√(5)

= 5.66 + 5.38 + 2.24 = 13.27
