Calculating Perimeter and Missing Sides

The video tutorial explains how to determine the perimeter of a polygon by adding the lengths of all its sides. It addresses the challenge of missing side lengths by using given information to calculate them. The tutorial demonstrates the process of finding these lengths and then summing them to find the total perimeter, providing a step-by-step guide to ensure accuracy.

What is the first step in determining the perimeter of a polygon?

• Subtract the lengths of all sides

• Add the lengths of all sides

• Multiply the lengths of all sides

• Divide the lengths of all sides
