Add up the lengths of the several sides of the polygon.
Examples: The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of the 3 sides.
The perimeter of a hexagon is the sum of the lengths of the 6 sides.
And so on.
I highly recommend drawing any polygon whose perimeter you wish to calculate.
Fido's dog must lose 1.17 pounds each month to reach healthier weight.
