OpenStudy (atrineas):

ok so do you know the formula to find the perimeter of a circle?

OpenStudy (southern_princess13):

no i dont remember

OpenStudy (southern_princess13):

ill be right back

OpenStudy (mathmale):

the figure here is made up of a half circle and three straight lines. What is the length of each of those straight lines? What is the radius of this semicircle? What is the formula for the circumference of a circle of given radius? What is half the circumference of a circle with this same radius?

OpenStudy (atrineas):

it would be \[2\pi r \] but since its only half of a circle you would half the circumference when you finish (r=radius in the formula above)

OpenStudy (southern_princess13):

25.12?

OpenStudy (southern_princess13):

a

OpenStudy (atrineas):

Is that your circumference if so no since the diameter of the half circle is 4 the radius would be 2 making the equation \[2\pi 2 \] which would equal?

OpenStudy (southern_princess13):

oh

OpenStudy (southern_princess13):

12>56

OpenStudy (southern_princess13):

oops i meant 12.56

OpenStudy (atrineas):

close it's 12.57 and half of that is?

OpenStudy (southern_princess13):

6.28

OpenStudy (atrineas):

yes now add the three sides of 4 and that will be your perimeter

OpenStudy (southern_princess13):

18.28

OpenStudy (atrineas):

yes ^~^

OpenStudy (southern_princess13):

thank you!! :D
