Question

A rose garden is formed by joining a rectangle and a semicircle, as shown below. The rectangle is long and wide. If the

Answer 1

`P_(Garden)=96.26ft`

1) We need to find the Perimeter of this shape, since there are three sides of a rectangle, and one semi-circle we can write out the following

`\begin{gathered} P_(Semicircle)=(2\pi r)/(2)=\pi r \\ P_(rectangular\:part\:)=25+25+18 \end{gathered}`

Note: The radius is equal to half that vertical leg.heual

2) So now, let's add them up and approximate pi as 3.14

`P_(Garden)=25+25+18+(3.14)(9)=96.26ft`
