Answer:

20.9 inches

Explanation:

The perimeter length is the sum of the lengths of the two straight edges and that of the curved edge.

P = r + r + rα . . . . . where α is the central angle in radians

35° is (35°/180°)π radians, about 0.6109 radians

Then the perimeter is ...

P = r(2 +α) = (8 in)(2 +0.6109) ≈ 20.9 in

The perimeter of the slice is about 20.9 inches.
