Explanation:

what I don't understand is why the distance around the window has to be written twice.

but let's start with the circumference of the complete circle :

2×pi×r = 2×22/7 × 3.5

or as the boxes are lined

22/7 × 2 × 3.5 = 22/7 × 7 = 22 ft

the circumference of half the circle is then about

22/2 = 11 ft

the distance around the window is then

11 + 3.5×2 = 11 + 7 = 18 ft
