FIRST YOU NEED TO IDENTIFY ALL THE CORNER POINTS.
THEN FIND THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THEM USING THE PYTHAGOREON THEORUM (A^2+B^2=C^2) AS EACH SET OF POINTS FORM A RIGHT TRIANGLE. THE DISTANCE IS THE HYPOTENUSE OF THESE TRIANGLES (C).
ONCE YOU'VE FOUND THE LENGTH OF THE TWO PARALLEL SIDES JUST ADD THEM FOR THE PERIMETER.
