B. 2pi + 12 cm
C. 2pi + 6 cm
D. 4pi + 12cm

Answer 1

I think this is your answer :)

Answer 2

Answer:

Option B $(2 \pi+12)\ cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

The perimeter of the figure is equal to sum the length of semicircle plus the length of three sides of a square

Find the length of semicircle

Remember that the circumference of semicircle is equal to

$C=\frac{1}{2}\pi D$

we have

$D=4\ cm$

substitute

$C=\frac{1}{2}\pi(4)=2 \pi\ cm$

The perimeter of the figure is equal to

$P=2 \pi+3(4)=(2 \pi+12)\ cm$
