To calculate the perimeter of a polygon given its coordinates, you need to find the lengths of each side between consecutive vertices and then sum them up.
Assuming you have coordinates for the vertices of the polygon, here’s a step-by-step method:
-
List the Coordinates: Write down the coordinates of each vertex in order.
-
Calculate Side Lengths: Use the distance formula to calculate the length of each side: \[ \text{Distance} = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} \]
-
Sum the Lengths: Add up the lengths of all the sides to find the perimeter.
-
Round the Total: Finally, round the sum to the nearest whole number.
Since the specific coordinates of the polygon are not provided in your question, I can't compute the perimeter for you. If you provide the coordinates, I can help you calculate the perimeter.
