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(16) = 4 miles
Width BC: sqrt((5-5)^2 + (-1-(-3))^2) = sqrt(4) = 2 miles
Perimeter = 2(Length + Width) = 2(4 + 2) = 2(6) = 12 miles
Therefore, the perimeter of the polygon is 12 miles.
