math help A mirror frame in the shape of an oval is shown below. The ends of the frame form semicircles: Which of the following is the perimeter of the inner edge of the frame? (π = 3.14) 192.78 inches 246.78 inches 277.56 inches 331.56 inches

KittyGirl:

@dude

dude:

Okay we can start with the semi circles Do you know the perimeter of a circle equation? (Also known as circumference)

dude:

Okay this should be given to you as an equation but you should have C= 2\(\pi\)r r is the radius Do you know the radius of the circle?

KittyGirl:

uh I dont thinks so ._.

dude:

Radius is half the length across the circle (Not sure if you could see this or not but the top and bottom of the shape are semi-circles, you also know the distance across) To find the radius here, divide the length given by 2 (They gave you the diameter) (If my wording is new/confusing to you feel free to tell me and I will change my explanation) 1552004161-5c81b441281c5e6096b71000-image.png

KittyGirl:

soooo its 13.5?

dude:

Yep, so now plug it back in for r C=2\(\pi\)r

KittyGirl:

C=2π13.5 oki so uh what else is there?

dude:

Well solve it (Multiply it by plugging into le calculator)

KittyGirl:

uh I dont think I have an le calculator ._.

dude:

Use a calculator

dude:

unless you dont have access to one

KittyGirl:

dunt worry I asked Siri XD it's 27?

dude:

D: No \(2\times 3.14\times 13.5\) should be 84.78

KittyGirl:

oh forgot to also multiply 3.14 as well ._.

dude:

Oh haha rip Okay We are missing the red part of the shape, because we know the length, we just add it to 84.78 1552005094-5c81b7e62104d46bed9a9e00-image.png

KittyGirl:

so just add 54 by 84.78 right?

dude:

54 two times Because there are 2 sides

KittyGirl:

o .-. its 108 XD

dude:

Ye 108+84.78

KittyGirl:

192.78 its a!

dude:

Ya

KittyGirl:

so uh I got another question im kinda stuck on :T you wanna help me out on it or nah?

dude:

Sure make a new post

KittyGirl:

alright
