Answer:

Perimeter you add up all the sides. If it is a horizontal or vertical line, you just write those values for the side lengths. For the slanted one, I would use pythagorean theorem to solve it.

Explanation:

If we make a right triangle using vertical and horizontal lines. We will find that a = 6, and b = 12. Find the square root of the sum of a squared plus b squared. That will tell you C. Then add C to the other 3 sides and that will give you the perimeter.
