Answer:
P = 35.98 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The Perimeter of a shape is the distance around the outside of it. This semi-circle (half circle) has a straight part and the curved part. See image. The straight part is the diameter (distance through the center) it is double the radius that was given, 7 cm.
The circumference of a circle is the perimeter of the whole circle.
C = 2pi•r or pi•d
C = 2pi•7 = 14pi
But you only need half, so 14pi/2 is 7pi.
ADD the straight part and the curved part to get the whole distance around the shape
P = 14 + 7pi
P ~= 35.98 cm
See image
