Answer:
The perimeter of given figure = 56.56 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Step(i):-
From diagram
The length of the rectangle = 10 ft
The width of the rectangle = 8 ft
Perimeter of the rectangle
= 2 ( l+w)
= 2 ( 10 + 8)
= 2 × 18
= 36
Step(ii):-
The semi circle is included in the given diagram
Now we will find the perimeter of semicircle
We know that
perimeter of the circle
p = 2πr + d
perimeter of the semicircle
[tex]P = \frac{1}{2} 2\pi r + d[/tex]
P = πr + 2 r (∵ d = 2 r)
Step(iii):-
From diagram the diameter of semicircle is equal to the width of the rectangle
d = 8
d = 2 r = 8
The radius of the circle 'r' = 4
perimeter of the semicircle
P = πr + 2 r
P = 3.14 ( 4) + 8
P= 20.56
Conclusion:-
The perimeter of given figure
= perimeter of rectangle + perimeter of semicircle
= 36 + 20.56
=56.56 ft
