Question

A fountain is made up of two semicircles and a quarter circle. Find the perimeter of the fountain. Round answers to nearest tenth. The diameter for the semicircles is 10

Answer 1

39.275

Explanation:

the diameter of the semicircle is 10

A semicircle is half a circle, and a quarter circle is 1/4 of a circle.

Perimeter of a semicircle is ¶d/2

= 3.142 x 10/2 = 3.142 x 5 = 15.71

For 2 semicircles that will be 15.71 x 2 = 31.42

For the quarter circle, perimeter is ¶d/4 = 3.142 x 10/4 = 3.142 x 2.5 = 7.855

Total perimeter = 31.42 + 7.855 = 39.275
