To find the length and width of the rectangle, we can use the distance formula:

Length: AB = sqrt((5-1)^2 + (-3-(-3))^2) = sqrt(4^2 + 0^2) = sqrt(16) = 4 miles
Width: BC = sqrt((5-5)^2 + (-1-(-3))^2) = sqrt(0^2 + 2^2) = sqrt(4) = 2 miles

To find the perimeter, we can use the formula P = 2(l + w):

P = 2(4 + 2) = 2(6) = 12 miles

Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangle ABCD is 12 miles.

Correct response: 12 miles
