What is known?
Explanation:
If a triangle is given by its three sides, you just sum them up to get a perimeter.
If a triangle is given as coordinates of its three vertices on a plane, you have to calculate the lengths of its three sides by coordinates of the ends of each side and them sum up the lengths.
