This figure consists of a rectangle and a quarter circle.

what is the perimeter of this figure?

use 3.14 for π .

enter your answer as a decimal. you in advance

The hardest part of this would be finding the length of that arc. Though, since it's a quarter circle, it makes our job a whole lot easier.

The circumference of a circle is 2πr, therefore, a quarter circumference of a circle would be (2πr) / 4.

Therefore, the length of that arc would be (2 * 3.14 * 8) / 4 = 12.56


With this figure, we can just add up the rest of the perimeter.

12.56 + 8 (circle radius) + 10 + 10 (two rectangle heights) + 17 (rectangle length) + 9 (rectangle length minus radius, for the top-right part of the rectangle), giving us an answer of 66.56cm

No because if you do the higher number minus the lower number you will get a positive. if you do it the other way around you will get a negative number
