The coordinates of the vertices of a polygon are A(-2,-2), B(3,-3), C(4,-6),
D(1,-6), and E(-2,-4)
---------------
Find the length of each side, then add them.
eg, for AB: A(-2,-2), B(3,-3)
s+=+sqrt%28diffy%5E2+%2B+diffx%5E2%29+=+sqrt%285%5E2+%2B+1%5E2%29+=+sqrt%2826%29
-----------
Find the other sides, then add them.
