Ive thought as much as I could and couldn;t come up with the right answer. The perimeter of a shape is 25.71, calculate the value of radius x, take pi to be 3.142. Perimeter expression = pi x radius + 2 x radius
SandArt Use the equation: 3.142r+2r= 25.71

Combine like terms for: 5.142r = 25.71

You will find that the radius is 5. The diameter is 10.

If you are using 3.142 to represent pi, you can check using the formula for perimeter of pi times diameter/2 for a semi circle. Don't forget to add the line segment for the rest of perimeter....See More

harpazo 25.71 = 3.142x + 2x

25.71 = 5.142x

25.71/5.142 = x

5 = x

If x = radius, then your radius is 5.
