Answer:
Perimeter = 65.12 in
Area = 292.48 in^2
which agrees with the second answer choice
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter is going to be the addition of the sides of the rectangle external to the composite figure ( 12 + 16 + 12 = 40) PLUS the length of half of the circumference or radius 8 inches (which is pi * radius = 3.14 * 8 = 25.12 in)
Then the total perimeter is:
Perimeter = 40 in + 25.12 in = 65.12 in
The are is going to be the area of the rectangle (12 * 16 = 192 square inches) PLUS the area of the semicircle of radius 8 in (pi *radius^2 /2 = 100.48 square inches).
Therefore the total area is:
Area = 192 + 100.48 = 292.48 in^2
