You need more information than just the perimeter. The information may be in a drawing that comes with the words of the problem.

If you have expressions for the length of each side, such as , and for example, you can write an equation that would look like
--> --> --> -->

If the additional information was the measures of angles, it would be a more difficult problem, but I am guessing that is not your case.
