What is the perimeter of the figure to the nearest hundredth of a centimeter? A. 24.56 cm B. 18.28 cm C. 16 cm D. 14.28 cm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is your understanding of this question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not sure but i think the answer is c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay.. let's see if you were correct as we go along. Now, this shape has two figures: 1. A semi circle 2. A square

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You need to find the perimeter of each individual shape then add them together.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the perimeter of the square?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct! Now, we can immediately eliminate C and D because the perimeter of the total figure will be GREATER than 16 since we haven't figured out the perimeter of the circle yet.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now, remember last thread when I helped you figure out the perimeter of the semicircle? Try figuring it out :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Remember: Circumference = 2πr or πd

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oka

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Aureyliant Since it is a semi circle she could just use the equation πr. Am I correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup! I was just about t mention that :) @taylorz115820

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Tell me your explanation. What was the circumference you got for this SEMI CIRCLE?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I need help!?!?!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why are you multiplying it by 4? You need to add the circumference of this semi circle to the perimeter of the square (16 cm)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk
