6. Jason designed an arch made of wrought iron for the top of a mall entrance. The 11 segments between the two concentric circles are each 1.25 m long. Find the total length of wrought iron used to make the structure. Round the answer to the nearest meter. Show your work.

Find the length of the two semicircles. Outer circle has diameter 15, inner circle has diameter 15 - 2*1.25. Circumference = pi*D, for a semicircle it's half that. Add together the length of the semicircles, and add 11*1.25 for the eleven segments.

so 39??

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

I have no idea, you showed zero work. But it appears quite incorrect.

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

You need: length of outer semicircle length of inner semicircle Once you have those, add them together and add 11*1.25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the inner semicircle is 16.25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is 45 m

No. You aren't showing any work. Show all your work. For the inner semicircle, outer semicircle, and then the sum of those two and 11*1.25.

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Inner semicircle length is wrong, so is the final answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how about you tell me what i did wrong

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

I can't tell what you did at all, since you showed no work...

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

My very first post has the directions of what to do
