Answer: 16 + 16*sqrt(3) which is choice B

==============================================

Work Shown

arc HG = 120

angle HOG = 120

OH = OG = 8 = radius

angle OGH = (180-angle HOG)/2 = (180-120)/2 = 30

Use the law of sines

sin(angle HOG)/HG = sin(angle OGH)/OH

sin(120)/HG = sin(30)/8

(sqrt(3)/2)/HG = (1/2)/8

sqrt(3)/HG = 1/8

8*sqrt(3) = HG

HG = 8*sqrt(3)

--------------------

angle FOG = 180-(angle HOG) = 180-120 = 60

angle OGF = (180 - angle FOG)/2 = (180-60)/2 = 60

Triangle FOG is equilateral, therefore FO = GO = FG = 8

--------------------

Rectangle EFGH has length 8*sqrt(3) and width 8

P = perimeter of rectangle

P = 2*(length + width)

P = 2*(8*sqrt(3) + 8)

P = 16*sqrt(3) + 16

P = 16 + 16*sqrt(3)

The final answer is choice B

16 + 16*sqrt(3) = 43.7128 approximately
