Question

What is the approximate perimeter of the figure?

A. 3.1 inches
B. 6.3 inches
C. 7.1 inches
D. 12.3 inches

Answer 1

Its approximately 7.1 inches. 2 inches plus 2 inches is 4 so its obviously not a. 12.3 is just too ridiculously big for the figure so its down to C and B.
since the rounded edge is bigger than the two inches, it wouldn't be B, which leaves you with C
Hope this helped you

Answer 2

Option C.
`7.1\ in`

Explanation:

we know that

The perimeter of the figure is equal to the circumference of a quarter circle plus the radius of the circle by two

so

Find the circumference of a quarter circle

we know that

The circumference of a quarter circle is equal to

`C=(1)/(2)\pi r`

we have

`r=2\ in`

substitute

`C=(1)/(2)\pi (2)=\pi =3.1\ in`

Find the perimeter of the figure

`3.1\ in+2*2\ in=7.1\ in`
