HOW? The five lines intersect to form a five sided figure. Find each adjascent intersection point, and use Distance Formula for each segment. Sum them. Much work but not complicated. Best is start by plotting the lines and maybe identifying the intersection points may be easier. Maybe fewer computations this way, too.
