Using the formula for the distance between two points to find the side lengths, the perimeter of the polygon is of 25 units.

What is the perimeter of a figure?

The perimeter of a figure is given by the sum of the side lengths of it's outside dimensions.

What is the distance between two points?

Suppose that we have two points, [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex]. The distance between them is given by:

[tex]D = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]

For this problem, the distances are given as follows:

  • [tex]D_1 = \sqrt{(-1 -(-1))^2 + (6 - 3)^2} = 3[/tex].
  • [tex]D_2 = \sqrt{(2 -(-1))^2 + (10 - 6)^2} = 5[/tex].
  • [tex]D_3 = \sqrt{(5 - 2)^2 + (6 - 10)^2} = 5[/tex].
  • [tex]D_4 = \sqrt{(5 - 5)^2 + (3 - 6)^2} = 6[/tex].
  • [tex]D_5 = \sqrt{(5 - (-1))^2 + (3 - 3)^2} = 6[/tex].

Hence the perimeter is given by:

P = 3 + 2 x 5 + 2 x 6 = 25 units.
