Answer:

p = 9π + 18 miles Exact answer

p = 46.26 miles decimal approximation

Explanation:

The whole circumference of a circle is

c = 2πr

Half a circle's circumference plus the diameter would be the semicircle's perimeter

p = (1/2)2πr + 2r

p = πr + 18

p = 9π + 18 miles Exact answer

p = 3.14 * 9 + 18

p = 46.26 miles decimal approximation
