Can someone please help me with this question the instructions are to use a calculator to find the perimeter (the solid lines and curves) of each figure. The perimeter of each semicircle can be found by using the equation 1/2 pi d (the place where I put the words pi has the pi symbol, and d is just a variable. Also use 3.14 as pi, and the top part is cut off a little bit, but it still counts as a full semi circle. Please help me.

Answer:

The continuous closed line that makes the boundary of a two-dimensional shape is known as the perimeter. It’s easy to work out the perimeter of a shape with straight edges, such as a square, because you simply add the lengths of each edge together. A different formula is required to work out the perimeter of a semi circle (a circle cut in half), because it consists of a curved edge as well as a straight edge. That formula is

Explanation:

P = \frac{1}{2} πd + dP=

2

1

πd+d

where ​d​ is the diameter of the semi circle.

Apply the number pi (π) to the formula

P = \frac{1}{2} πd + dP=

2

1

πd+d

Pi is a circle's circumference divided by its diameter and is always the same value, 3.14.

I think I got it right
