    The answer in here is 20ft and here is how you can get to this answer:

    If we place the tree at the origin then we can say that

    the bottom-left tree is at (-3,-2)

    the top-right tree is at (4,1)

    so the base of the rectangle is 7

    the height is 3

    Taking into account all the details then

    perimeter = 2 (7) + 2 (3) = 20

    Hope this is good enough for you
