You can find the distacce between vertices using the distance formula

===============================================
XY =
XY =
XY =
XY = 2
==============================================
YZ =
YZ =
YZ =
YZ = 2
===============================================
XZ =
XZ =
XZ =
XZ = 2
===============================================
The perimeter would be 4 + 2
