Answer:

11.5214512633

Explanation:

Add up all the sides, using Pythagorean theorem for each side by finding the difference in horizontal and vertical coordinates.

CD:
\sqrt{\left(2-\left(-1\right)\right)^(2)+\left(\left(-1\right)-\left(-2\right)^(2)\right)} = 2

CF:
\sqrt{\left(1-2\right)^(2)+\left(1-\left(-1\right)\right)^(2)} = 2.2360679775

EF:
\sqrt{\left(2-1\right)^(2)+\left(-2-1\right)^(2)} = 3.16227766017

DE:
\sqrt{\left(2-\left(-2\right)\right)^(2)+\left(\left(-2\right)-\left(-1\right)\right)^(2)} = 4.12310562562

add them all up 11.5214512633
