Answer:

65 cm

Explanation:

You want the perimeter of the shape that results from removing a 60° sector from a circle.

Curved edge

The curved edge of the shape is 5/6 of the circumference of the circle.

5/6C = 5/6(2πr) = 5/6·2·π·(9 cm) = 15π cm ≈ 47 cm

Straight edges

Each straight edge of the shape has a length equal to the radius. Then the straight edges have a total length of ...

2r = 2(9 cm) = 18 cm

Perimeter

The perimeter of the shape is the sum of the length of its curved edge and the lengths of the straight edges:

P = 47 cm + 18 cm = 65 cm

The perimeter is about 65 cm.

Additional comment

A total circle is 360°, so 1/6 of the circle is 60°. The size of a sector of a circle can be described by the angle measure of its central angle. Here, that means the removed portion is a 60° sector.
