Given the vertices of a polygon

W: (5, -1)

X: (5,6)

Y: (2,-1)

Z: (2,6)

We will graph the polygon on a grid of x-y plane

the graph will be as shown in the following picture:

As shown, the polygon is a rectangle:

Length = the distance between (5,-1) and (5,6) = 7 units

Width = the distance between (5,6) and (2,6) = 3 units

The perimeter = 2*(length + width) = 2 * (7+3) = 2 * 10 = 20

Area = Length x width = 7 x 3 = 21

So, the answer will be:

Perimeter = 20 units

Area = 21 square units
