Challenge: The perimeter of a semicircular patio is 35.98 ft. What is its radius? Use 3. 14 for a.
Please Be accurate and explain

Respuesta :

Answer:

  7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle is given by the formula ...

  C = 2πr

The curved portion of a semicircle will be ...

  C/2 = (2πr)/2 = πr

The straight portion of the semicircular shape will be the diameter, or 2r. That means the total perimeter of a semicircular shape is ...

  P = πr +2r = r(π+2)

Then the radius is ...

  r = P/(π+2) = (35.98 ft)/(3.14+2) = 7 ft

The radius of the patio is 7 ft.
