Answer:

Perimeter of the source:

Pt = 47.1 ft

Area of the source:

A = 98.2 feet ^ 2

Explanation:

Perimeter:

P = 2 * pi * r

or

P = pi * d

Where,

r = radius

d = diameter

Therefore the perimeter is:

P = 10 * pi

For the largest circle we have:

radius = 10

Perimeter:

P '= 2pi10

P '= 20pi

1/4 since 1/4 circle:

P '' = 20pi / 4 = 5pi

Then, the total perimeter of the source is:

Pt = P + P '' = 10pi + 5pi = 15pi

Pt = 15 * (3.141592)

Pt = 47.1239

round

Pt = 47.1 ft

Area:

The total area will be:

A = A (two semicircles) + A (quarter big circle)

A = (pi / 4) * (d ^ 2) + (1/4) * pi * r ^ 2

A = (pi / 4) * ((10) ^ 2) + (1/4) * pi * (5) ^ 2

A = 98.17477042 feet ^ 2

Round:

A = 98.2 feet ^ 2

Answer:

Perimeter of the source:

Pt = 47.1 ft

Area of the source:

A = 98.2 feet ^ 2
