What does that shape appear to be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i don't know

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's a quarter of something?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

square?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A circle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@serenamoon, Do you see that if you had four of those it would make a circle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How can you calculate the perimeter of a circle? Sometimes called a circumference?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To do this just find the circumference, which is the same as the perimeter. Circumference = 2π × radius

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The radius in this problem is 5. So plug that into the formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now you have the perimeter of the entire circle. How would we get the perimeter of just the curve in the diagram?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope. To find the perimeter of just the quarter divide the circumference of the whole circle by 4.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now that you have the perimeter of the curved part what's the perimeter of the entire shape?
