1. **Problem Statement:** Find the perimeter and area of the rectangle with vertices A(-1, 1), B(3, 1), C(3, -4), and D(-1, -4).
2. **Formula for Perimeter of a Rectangle:**
$$P = 2(l + w)$$
where $l$ is the length and $w$ is the width.
3. **Formula for Area of a Rectangle:**
$$A = l \times w$$
4. **Find the length and width:**
- Length $l$ is the distance between points A and B (or C and D):
$$l = |x_B - x_A| = |3 - (-1)| = 4$$
- Width $w$ is the distance between points A and D (or B and C):
$$w = |y_A - y_D| = |1 - (-4)| = 5$$
5. **Calculate the perimeter:**
$$P = 2(l + w) = 2(4 + 5) = 2 \times 9 = 18$$
6. **Calculate the area:**
$$A = l \times w = 4 \times 5 = 20$$
**Final answers:**
- Perimeter = 18
- Area = 20
