Final answer:

While the question contains a typo, using the distance and area formulas for triangles can provide the perimeter and area of the polygon if correct vertices are given.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter and area of a polygon can be found by using the coordinates of its vertices. Unfortunately, the question seems to contain a typographical error in its listing of the vertices of the polygon, providing an incomplete set of coordinates for vertex F.

However, if we proceed with one of the provided options, such as Option A (E(6, -2), F(6.5, -1), G(-1, 5)), we can use the distance formula to find the lengths of the sides of the triangle and then sum these lengths to find the perimeter. Similarly, we can use the area formula for a triangle given three vertices to find the area. If we correctly calculate the lengths of the sides and the area considering the correct coordinates of the vertices, we would provide a final answer by rounding to the nearest tenth where necessary.
