ok since nobody answered this question perimeter of ABCDE is just the 2L + 2W where L is length and W is width perimeter of BCD is the sum of the sides lengths. this is a bit tricky since some of the sides are on an angle compared to the grid, but we can use the pythagorean theorem to find them.

the perimeter of the entire polygon is just the sum of all sides, which you should be able to determine from previous calculations
