Answer: 31.5938183883 units

Explanation:

Use the distance formula to calculate the perimeter for each side:

d = √((X2-X1)^2+(Y2-Y1)^2)

Example: Coordinates for T (1,11) and U (5,7)

Distance (d) = √(5 - 1)^2 + (7 - 11)^2

= √(4)^2 + (-4)^2

= √32

= 5.6568542494924

U (5,7) and Q (3,0)

Distance = 7.2801098892805

Q (3,0) and R (-3, 0)

Distance = 6

R (-3,0) and S (-3,7)

Distance = 7

S (-3,7) and T (1,11)

Distance = 5.6568542494924

After finding the distance, add the five distances together to get the perimeter:

5.6568542494924 + 7.2801098892805 + 6 + 7 + 5.6568542494924 = 31.5938183883 units
