The perimeter of the rhombus FGHJ is 20 units
<h3>How to graph the rhombus</h3>The coordinates are given as:
F = (-2, -2)
G = (-2, 3)
H = (2, 6)
From the question, we understand that vertex J is directly below vertex H.
This means that vertices H and J have the same x coordinate.
So, we have
J = (2, y)
The distance between F and G is 5 units,
So, we have
J = (2, y - 5)
Where
y = 6 i.e. the y coordinate of H
This gives
J = (2, 6 - 5)
Evaluate
J = (2, 1)

<h3>The perimeter</h3>In (a), we have:
The distance between F and G is 5 units,
This means that
FG = 5
The side lengths of a rhombus are equal.
So, the perimeter is
P = 4 * FG
This gives
P =4 * 5
Evaluate
P = 20
Hence, the perimeter of the rhombus is 20 units
