Question

The figure is 1/4 of a circle 2 inches on the side what is the best approximation for the perimeter of the figure used 3.14 to approximate pie

Answer 1

The perimeter of figure is 7.14 inches

Solution:

Given that,

The figure is 1/4 of a circle of 2 inches on side

To find: Perimeter of figure

The perimeter (p) of a quadrant is given as:

`p = 0.5 \pi r+2r`

Where, r is the radius

Substitute r = 2

`p = 0.5 * 3.14 * 2 + 2 * 2\\\\p = 3.14 + 4\\\\p = 7.14`

Thus perimeter of figure is 7.14 inches
