Check the picture below.
so the perimeter of the polygon is the sum of all its sides, namely, AB + BC + CD + DA.
now, let's check how long each side is,

sum those sides up, and that's the perimeter of the polygon.
so the perimeter of the polygon is the sum of all its sides, namely, AB + BC + CD + DA.
now, let's check how long each side is,
