Compute the side lengths:

AB: distance between (1,5) and (4,1) = sqrt((4−1)^2+(1−5)^2) = sqrt(9+16)=5
BC: distance between (4,1) and (−4,−5) = sqrt((−4−4)^2+(−5−1)^2)=sqrt(64+36)=10
AC: distance between (1,5) and (−4,−5) = sqrt((−4−1)^2+(−5−5)^2)=sqrt(25+100)=5√5 ≈ 11.1803

Perimeter = 5 + 10 + 5√5 ≈ 26.1803 → rounded to the nearest tenth: 26.2 units.
