Answer:

The perimeter of the figure is
60.84\ m

Explanation:

we know that

The perimeter of the figure is equal to the perimeter of a rectangle plus the circumference of a semicircle minus the diameter of the circle

so

Find the perimeter of the rectangle

The perimeter of the rectangle is equal to


P=2(L+W)

substitute the values


P=2(15+12)=54\ m

Find the circumference of a semicircle

The circumference of a semicircle is equal to


C=\pi r

substitute the value of r


r=12/2=6\ m -----> the radius is half the diameter


C=(3.14)(6)=18.84\ m

Find the perimeter of the figure


54\ m+18.84\ m-12\ m=60.84\ m
