AB = distance from A(−1,−1) to B(1,2) = sqrt((1−(−1))^2 + (2−(−1))^2) = sqrt(2^2 + 3^2) = sqrt13.

In a rectangle the diagonal BD satisfies BD^2 = AB^2 + BC^2. With BD = 6:
BC^2 = 6^2 − (sqrt13)^2 = 36 − 13 = 23, so BC = sqrt23.

Perimeter = 2(AB + BC) = 2(sqrt13 + sqrt23) ≈ 2(3.6056 + 4.7958) ≈ 16.8 units.

Answer: 16.8 units.
