The perimeter of the polygon is 76 cm​

Step-by-step explanation:

Tangents from the same points are of the same lengths.

Using an illustration:

The points are in Magenta and the lengths with same sides have been indicated

Now we can calculate the perimeter of the polygon:

Perimeter = 8cm + 19cm + 19cm + 6cm + 6cm + 5cm + 5cm + 8cm

Perimeter = 76cm

The perimeter of the polygon is 76 cm​
