Answer:
The perimeter of the figure is [tex]23.42\ cm[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The perimeter of the figure is equal to the perimeter of the rectangle plus the circumference of a semicircle minus the length of [tex]6\ cm[/tex]
Step 1
Find the perimeter of rectangle
The perimeter of rectangle is equal to
[tex]P=2(L+W)[/tex]
In this problem we have
[tex]L=6\ cm[/tex]
[tex]W=4\ cm[/tex]
substitute
[tex]P=2(6+4)=20\ cm[/tex]
Step 2
Find the circumference of a semicircle
The circumference of a semicircle is equal to
[tex]C=\pi r[/tex]
we have
[tex]r=6/2=3\ cm[/tex] -----> the radius is half the diameter
substitute
[tex]C=3\pi\ cm[/tex]
Step 3
Find the perimeter of the figure
[tex]20\ cm+3\pi\ cm-6\ cm=(20+3.14*3-6)=23.42\ cm[/tex]
