Answer:

P ≈ 25 units

Explanation:

LM = 12 units ( horizontal line )

use the distance formula to find length of other 2 sides.

d =
\sqrt{(x_(2)-x_(1))^2+(y_(2)-y_(1))^2 }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = L (- 3, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = M (3, 5 )

LM =
√(3-(-3))^2+(5-2)^2)

=
√((3+3)^2+3^2)

=
√(6^2+9)

=
√(36+9)

=
√(45)

Repeat with (x₁, y₁ ) = M (3, 5) and (x₂, y₂ ) = N (9, 2)

MN =
√((9-3)^2+(2-5)^2)

=
√(6^2+(-3)^2)

=
√(36+9)

=
√(45)

Then perimeter P is the sum of the 3 sides

P = 12 +
√(45) +
√(45) = 12 + 2
√(45) ≈ 25 units ( to the nearest unit )
