OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

wait i think its 18.80 because it says "Express your final answer to the nearest hundredth."

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, i suck at rounding to hundreths so i wont be able to do that for you... But, to find a semi circle perimeter you take the normal perimeter formula (2 π r) and divide by 2.

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

hmm so π x 2 = 6.28 and then 6.28 divided by 2 is 3.14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6 x 2 x 3.14 = 37.68 37.68 / 2 = 18.84 like you said :) I am sorry i can't be of help with the rounding to hundreths, let me see if i can google that for you real quick...

kk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I would wait to get it confirmed, but i would say 18.84 is dine because the 4 is in the hundredths place. if it was 18.842 then you would round to 18.84

OpenStudy (anonymous):

fine*

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

okay, thanks :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem :)

OpenStudy (gabbyalicorn):

Well now that I have read this @MonKiwi that you seem correct. but again, like you said lets double check that... @geerky42 @unknownunknown @UsukiDoll

8 is in the tenths and 4 is in the hundreths so ima go with your answer. :)
