I got 6624 for the area of the rectangle and 3737.385 for the area of the semi circle

OpenStudy (aripotta):

you don't want to find the area, you want to know the distance around the figure, or the perimeter

OpenStudy (aripotta):

so you want to find the circumference of the semicircles

OpenStudy (aripotta):

\[C~=~2\pi r\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait what's the plus 2(96)

OpenStudy (aripotta):

the circumference of the whole circle would be 216.66. the perimeter is 216.66 + 96 + 96 because the length of the rectangle is 96

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is it 216.66 x2 because theres two circles?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

no. C = 2 pi r is the circumference of a whole circle. since the two semicircles have the same measurements, we can basically say there's just one circle. so C = 216.66 is the circumference for both semicircles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then 96 + 96 ?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

so 216.66/2 is 108.33. so 108.33 for each semicircle. look below to see

OpenStudy (aripotta):

see where the 96s come from?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah thats the rectangle

OpenStudy (aripotta):

exactly. so 96 + 96 + 108.33 + 108.33 is your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 408.66 ?

OpenStudy (aripotta):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you!
