Question

The top edge of the window is a semicircle. The distance across the window is 2.5 ft. What is the distance around the top edge of the window? Use 3.14 for π, and round your answer to the nearest tenth.

2.5 ft
3.9 ft
5 ft
7.85 ft

Answer 1

b

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: 3.9 ft

Explanation:

From the question, the distance across the window which is 2.5 ft is the diameter. Therefore, radius will be:

= 2.5 / 2

= 1.25 ft

Then, we calculate the circumference of the circle which will be:

= 2πr

= 2 × 3.14 × 1.25

= 7.85 ft

Nite that it's a semi circle, therefore we divide the perimeter by 2. This will be:

= 7.85/2

= 3.9 feet
