Compute each side:

- LM: distance between (2,4) and (−2,1) = sqrt((2−(−2))^2 + (4−1)^2) = sqrt(4^2+3^2) = 5
- MN: distance between (−2,1) and (−1,4) = sqrt((−2−(−1))^2 + (1−4)^2) = sqrt(1^2+3^2) = sqrt(10)
- NL: distance between (−1,4) and (2,4) = sqrt((−1−2)^2 + (4−4)^2) = 3

Perimeter = 5 + sqrt(10) + 3 = 8 + sqrt(10) units.

Answer: 8 + StartRoot 10 EndRoot units.
