Explanation:

Step1: Identify coordinates of points

From the graph, we can see the coordinates:
- \( F(-8, -4) \)
- \( G(7, -9) \) (Wait, looking at the grid, G is at (7, -9)? Wait, no, looking at the x-axis, G is at x=7? Wait, no, the grid lines: let's check again. Wait, H is at (7,7)? Wait, no, the y-axis: H is at (7,7)? Wait, no, the grid: each square is 1 unit. Let's re-express:

Wait, F is at (-8, -4), G is at (7, -9)? No, wait, looking at the graph, G is at (7, -9)? Wait, no, the vertical line from G to H: H is at (7,7) and G is at (7, -9)? Wait, no, the y-coordinate of H is 7 (since it's at y=7), G is at y=-9? Wait, no, the grid: from y=-10 to y=10, each line is 1 unit. So H is at (7,7), G is at (7, -9)? Wait, no, the distance between H and G: from y=7 to y=-9, that's 16 units? Wait, no, let's check the coordinates properly.

Wait, F is at (-8, -4), G is at (7, -9)? No, wait, looking at the x-axis: F is at x=-8, y=-4. G is at x=7, y=-9? Wait, no, the point G is at (7, -9)? Wait, no, the vertical line from G to H: H is at (7,7) (since y=7), G is at (7, -9)? Then the length of GH is |7 - (-9)| = 16? Wait, no, that can't be. Wait, maybe I misread the coordinates. Let's look again:

Wait, F is at (-8, -4), G is at (7, -9)? No, the x-coordinate of G: looking at the grid, G is at x=7 (since it's 7 units to the right of the origin), y=-9? H is at x=7, y=7. So GH is vertical, length is 7 - (-9) = 16? Wait, no, 7 - (-9) = 16? Wait, 7 - (-9) = 16? Yes, because from y=-9 to y=7 is 16 units (7 - (-9) = 16). Then FG: distance between F(-8, -4) and G(7, -9). Using distance formula: \( d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} \). So \( x_2 - x_1 = 7 - (-8) = 15 \), \( y_2 - y_1 = -9 - (-4) = -5 \). So \( FG = \sqrt{15^2 + (-5)^2} = \sqrt{225 + 25} = \sqrt{250} \approx 15.81 \). Then FH: distance between F(-8, -4) and H(7,7). \( x_2 - x_1 = 7 - (-8) = 15 \), \( y_2 - y_1 = 7 - (-4) = 11 \). So \( FH = \sqrt{15^2 + 11^2} = \sqrt{225 + 121} = \sqrt{346} \approx 18.60 \). Wait, that can't be right. Wait, maybe I misread the coordinates. Let's check again.

Wait, maybe F is at (-8, -4), G is at (7, -9)? No, maybe G is at (7, -9)? Wait, no, the graph: F is at (-8, -4), G is at (7, -9)? Wait, no, the vertical line from G to H: H is at (7,7), G is at (7, -9). Then GH is 16 units. Then FG: from (-8, -4) to (7, -9): horizontal distance 15, vertical distance 5 (since -4 to -9 is 5 units down). So \( FG = \sqrt{15^2 + 5^2} = \sqrt{225 + 25} = \sqrt{250} \approx 15.81 \). FH: from (-8, -4) to (7,7): horizontal distance 15, vertical distance 11 (from -4 to 7 is 11 units up). So \( FH = \sqrt{15^2 + 11^2} = \sqrt{225 + 121} = \sqrt{346} \approx 18.60 \). Then perimeter is \( 16 + 15.81 + 18.60 \approx 50.41 \). Wait, that seems too big. Maybe I misread the coordinates. Let's check again.

Wait, maybe F is at (-8, -4), G is at (7, -9)? No, maybe G is at (7, -9)? Wait, no, the grid: each square is 1 unit. Let's check the x-coordinates: F is at x=-8, G is at x=7 (since from x=-8 to x=7 is 15 units). Y-coordinates: F is at y=-4, G is at y=-9 (so 5 units down), H is at y=7 (so from G at y=-9 to H at y=7 is 16 units up). So GH is 16. FG: distance between (-8, -4) and (7, -9): \( \sqrt{(7 - (-8))^2 + (-9 - (-4))^2} = \sqrt{15^2 + (-5)^2} = \sqrt{225 + 25} = \sqrt{250} \approx 15.81 \). FH: distance between (-8, -4) and (7,7): \( \sqrt{(7 - (-8))^2 + (7 - (-4))^2} = \sqrt{15^2 + 11^2} = \sqrt{225 + 121} = \sqrt{346} \approx 18.60 \). Then perimeter is 16 + 15.81 + 18.60 ≈ 50.41. But that seems off. Wait, maybe I made a mistake in the coordinates. Let's check the graph again.

Wait, maybe F is at (-8, -4), G is at (7, -9)? No, maybe G is at (7, -9)? Wait, no, the point G is at (7, -9)? Wait, the vertical line from G to H: H is at (7,7), G is at (7, -9). So GH is 16. Then FG: from (-8, -4) to (7, -9): horizontal difference 15, vertical difference 5. So \( \sqrt{15^2 + 5^2} = \sqrt{250} \approx 15.81 \). FH: from (-8, -4) to (7,7): horizontal difference 15, vertical difference 11. So \( \sqrt{15^2 + 11^2} = \sqrt{346} \approx 18.60 \). Then perimeter is 16 + 15.81 + 18.60 ≈ 50.41. But maybe the coordinates are different. Wait, maybe F is at (-8, -4), G is at (7, -9)? No, maybe I misread the x-coordinate of G. Let's check the grid: the x-axis has marks at -10, -8, -6, -4, -2, 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10. So G is at x=7? Wait, no, 7 is not a grid mark. Wait, maybe G is at (7, -9)? No, the grid lines are at integers. Wait, maybe G is at (7, -9)? No, the x-coordinate of G: looking at the graph, G is at x=7? Wait, no, the vertical line from G to H: H is at (7,7), G is at (7, -9). So x=7. Then F is at (-8, -4). So horizontal distance between F and G is 7 - (-8) = 15, vertical distance is -9 - (-4) = -5, so absolute value 5. So FG is \( \sqrt{15^2 + 5^2} = \sqrt{250} \approx 15.81 \). FH: horizontal distance 15, vertical distance 7 - (-4) = 11, so \( \sqrt{15^2 + 11^2} = \sqrt{346} \approx 18.60 \). GH is 7 - (-9) = 16. So perimeter is 16 + 15.81 + 18.60 ≈ 50.41. But maybe the coordinates are different. Wait, maybe F is at (-8, -4), G is at (7, -9)? No, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, let's check the distance between F and G again. If F is (-8, -4) and G is (7, -9), then:

\( \Delta x = 7 - (-8) = 15 \)

\( \Delta y = -9 - (-4) = -5 \)

So \( FG = \sqrt{15^2 + (-5)^2} = \sqrt{225 + 25} = \sqrt{250} \approx 15.81 \)

Distance between G and H: G is (7, -9), H is (7, 7). So \( \Delta x = 0 \), \( \Delta y = 7 - (-9) = 16 \). So \( GH = 16 \)

Distance between F and H: F is (-8, -4), H is (7, 7). \( \Delta x = 7 - (-8) = 15 \), \( \Delta y = 7 - (-4) = 11 \). So \( FH = \sqrt{15^2 + 11^2} = \sqrt{225 + 121} = \sqrt{346} \approx 18.60 \)

Then perimeter is \( 15.81 + 16 + 18.60 \approx 50.41 \). Rounded to the nearest tenth, that's 50.4. But maybe I misread the coordinates. Wait, maybe F is at (-8, -4), G is at (7, -9)? No, maybe the x-coordinate of G is 7? Wait, the grid lines: each square is 1 unit, so x=7 is correct. Alternatively, maybe F is at (-8, -4), G is at (7, -9), H is at (7,7). So that's correct. So the perimeter is approximately 50.4.

Wait, but maybe I made a mistake in the vertical distance for FH. Let's check: H is at y=7, F is at y=-4. So 7 - (-4) = 11. Correct. G is at y=-9, so 7 - (-9) = 16. Correct. Horizontal distance between F and G: 7 - (-8) = 15. Correct. So the calculations seem right. So the perimeter is approximately 50.4.

Answer:

\( 50.4 \) (rounded to the nearest tenth)
