We want the perimeter so we have to also calculate the circumference of the semi-circle

32?

AZ:

the circumference of a normal circle is \( 2\pi r\) but since it's half a circle, it's just going to be \(\pi r\) and r is half of the diameter which is 4

Allison:

???

AZ:

No, the green lines is the perimeter

6.28?

AZ:

Good, that's the circumference or perimeter of the half circle now just add the 3 sides of the parallelogram so 6.28 + 6 + 6 + 4 = ?

Allison:

22.8

AZ:

I think you meant 22.28 and then round one decimal place, that would be to the nearest tenth

Allison:

I just woke up

AZ:

I've been awake since 5

Allison:

Wrong it's 22.3 lol crap

Allison:

Oh poor you

AZ:

yes, you're supposed to round 22.28 to one decimal place so 22.3

Allison:

I forgot
