PQR is the diagram of a semicircle RSP with centre at Q and radius of length 3.5cm. If QPT = 60o. Find the perimeter of the figure PTRS. \(\pi\) = \(\frac{22}{7}\)
25cm
18cm
36cm
29cm
25.5cm

Explanation

Circumference of PRS = \(\frac{\pi d}{2}\) = \(\frac{22}{7}\) x \(\frac{7}{1}\) x \(\frac{1}{2}\)

= 11cm

Side PT = 7cm, Side TR = 7cm

Perimeter(PTRS) = 11cm + 7cm + 7cm

= 25cm
