Question

The figure shows a semi-circle and a square. The diameter of the semi-circle is 21 cm. What is the perimeter of the figure? (Take $\pi = \frac{22}{7}$)
Answer: 3

Worked solution

  1. \text{Semi-circle: } d = 21 \text{ cm}
  2. \text{Arc length} = \tfrac{1}{2} \times \pi d = \tfrac{1}{2} \times \tfrac{22}{7} \times 21 = 33 \text{ cm}
  3. \text{Square side} = 21 - 5 - 9 = 7 \text{ cm}
  4. \text{Perimeter} = \text{arc} + 5 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 9
  5. = 33 + 35 = 68 \text{ cm}
