Step 1: Find the perimeter of the rectangle

The rectangle has two lengths and one width that we need to add together. The width of the rectangle is equal to 2 times the radius (or the diameter) of the circle, which is 16.

25 + 25 + 16 = 66

Step 2: Find the perimeter of the semicircle

The perimeter of a semicircle is equal to half of the circumference.

C = pi x diameter

1/2 (3.14) x (16) = 25.12

Step 3: Find the perimeter of the figure

All that's left to do is add the two perimeters together.

66 + 25.12 = 91.12 m

Hope this helps!
