Hint: BC and AD are the parallel sides and have lengths of: 8 - 2, or 6 units, and 8 - - 2, or 10 units, respectively
\n" );
document.write( "Additionally, CD is a vertical line that's parallel to the y-axis, and has a length of: 3 - - 2, or 5 units  
\n" );
document.write( "All you need to do now is find the length of the other non-parallel side (AB) using the distance formula: 
\n" );
document.write( "Then add the 4 sides to get the perimeter. \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
