Answer:
48.56 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
==>Given:
A rectangular figure joined with a half circle with the following dimensions:
Length of rectangle (l) = 10ft
Width of rectangle (w) = 8ft
Diameter of the half circle (d) = the width of the rectangle = 8ft
π = 3.14
==>Required:
Perimeter of the figure = perimeter of a rectangle + permimeter of the half circle
==>Solution:
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l + w)
Perimeter of half circle = ½ of circumference of a circle = ½πd
Perimeter of the figure = 2(10 + 8) + (½*3.14*8)
= 2(18) + (3.14*4)
= 36 + 12.56
Perimeter = 48.56 ft (to the nearest hundredth)
