W = (1,1), X = (3,4), Y = (5,1), Z = (3,-3).

Compute side lengths with the distance formula:

WX = sqrt((3−1)^2 + (4−1)^2) = sqrt(4 + 9) = sqrt(13) ≈ 3.6056
XY = sqrt((5−3)^2 + (1−4)^2) = sqrt(4 + 9) = sqrt(13) ≈ 3.6056
YZ = sqrt((3−5)^2 + (−3−1)^2) = sqrt(4 + 16) = sqrt(20) ≈ 4.4721
ZW = sqrt((1−3)^2 + (1−(−3))^2) = sqrt(4 + 16) = sqrt(20) ≈ 4.4721

Perimeter = 2·sqrt(13) + 2·sqrt(20) ≈ 16.155 → 16.2 units.

Answer: 16.2 units.
