The coordinates of the vertices of a polygon are (−5, 1) , (−1, 3) , (2, 3) , (2, −2) , and (−3,−1) . What is the perimeter of the polygon? Round each length to the nearest tenth of a unit.

get the distance from one vertex to the one next to it, and for all 5, and add them all, that'd be the perimeter of that polygon


\bf \textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\ \begin{array}{lllll} &x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\ % (a,b) &({{ \square }}\quad ,&{{ \square }})\quad % (c,d) &({{ \square }}\quad ,&{{ \square }}) \end{array}\qquad % distance value d = \sqrt{({{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}})^2 + ({{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}})^2}
