What dimensions do you know? Are the squares the same size? Do you know the length of each side in the figure?

Are you considering the whole figure as a single shape (as if you shaded in the interiors of the squares and the triangle, so the edges of the triangle are no longer visible)?

In any case, the perimeter of a figure is the sum of the lengths of its edges, so just add them up.
