Question 8:
The figure shows a shape composed of a rectangle and a quarter circle.
The perimeter is the sum of the lengths of its outer boundary.
The dimensions are:
- Top horizontal side = 7.5 m
- Right vertical side = 3 m
- Bottom horizontal side = 7.5 m
- Left vertical straight side = 3 m (this is the radius of the quarter circle)
- Arc length of the quarter circle with radius r=3 m.
Step 1: Calculate the arc length of the quarter circle.
