just add the lenghts.
each non curved side is 5 in. long
and the curved side side is one quarter of a circle perimeter...
OpenStudy (barreraa):
C. 17.9 in.
@alurahenderson
OpenStudy (barreraa):
You want the perimeter of the whole piece. So, because there are two sides that equal 5, add 10 to 17.85
OpenStudy (alurahenderson):
@barreraA Can you please tell me how you got the answer because I don't really understand

so round that to 17.9, and the answer is C.
OpenStudy (barreraa):

OpenStudy (barreraa):
thn i get this 31.42/4=?
OpenStudy (barreraa):
