The perimeter is calculated by adding up all of the sides. Let's see what shape you have.

Ah so in order to answer this question, you have to use the distance formula between two points. 

d = sqrt((x2 - x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2)

Looks like you'll need to apply the distance formula (Pythagorean Theorem) four times to find the lengths of all four sides.  Then you add up the results.

Point A is at -4,3
Point B is at 0,2
Point C is at 2,5
Point D is at 0, -3

We can solve from here

Hey, Wrestler, ready to wrestle with this problem?  
The length of BC is
$$length(BC)=\sqrt{2^{2}+3^{2}}.$$
You OK with that?  If so, find the lengths of the other 3 sides.
