find the perimeter of the polygon with the given verticles

The vertices of the polygon in the image are:

- \( A(0, 4) \)
- \( B(2, 0) \)
- \( C(2, -2) \)
- \( D(0, -2) \)
- \( E(-2, -2) \)
- \( F(-2, 4) \)

To calculate the perimeter of the polygon, we need to find the distance between each consecutive pair of vertices using the distance formula:

\[
\text{Distance} = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}
\]

Let's compute the distance for each pair of consecutive vertices:

1. **Distance between \( A(0, 4) \) and \( B(2, 0) \)**:
   \[
   \sqrt{(2 - 0)^2 + (0 - 4)^2} = \sqrt{4 + 16} = \sqrt{20} = 2\sqrt{5}
   \]

2. **Distance between \( B(2, 0) \) and \( C(2, -2) \)**:
   \[
   \sqrt{(2 - 2)^2 + (-2 - 0)^2} = \sqrt{0 + 4} = 2
   \]

3. **Distance between \( C(2, -2) \) and \( D(0, -2) \)**:
   \[
   \sqrt{(0 - 2)^2 + (-2 - (-2))^2} = \sqrt{4 + 0} = 2
   \]

4. **Distance between \( D(0, -2) \) and \( E(-2, -2) \)**:
   \[
   \sqrt{(-2 - 0)^2 + (-2 - (-2))^2} = \sqrt{4 + 0} = 2
   \]

5. **Distance between \( E(-2, -2) \) and \( F(-2, 4) \)**:
   \[
   \sqrt{(-2 - (-2))^2 + (4 - (-2))^2} = \sqrt{0 + 36} = 6
   \]

6. **Distance between \( F(-2, 4) \) and \( A(0, 4) \)**:
   \[
   \sqrt{(0 - (-2))^2 + (4 - 4)^2} = \sqrt{4 + 0} = 2
   \]

Now, let's sum all the distances to find the perimeter:

\[
P = 2\sqrt{5} + 2 + 2 + 2 + 6 + 2
\]

I'll compute this now.It seems like I can’t do more advanced data analysis right now. Please try again later.

In the meantime, here's a quick summary of the perimeter calculation so far:

\[
P = 2\sqrt{5} + 2 + 2 + 2 + 6 + 2
\]

Here are some related questions for you to consider:
1. How do you find the area of the polygon based on the vertices?
2. Can you classify the polygon based on the side lengths and angles?
3. How would the perimeter change if one of the vertices were shifted?
4. What is the significance of the distance formula in coordinate geometry?
5. How can you use coordinate geometry to find the center of this polygon?

**Tip:** Always double-check the calculation of side lengths when working with geometric shapes on a coordinate plane to avoid small errors.
