Jamie made a semicircular pendant with a radius of 4 centimeters to use on a key chain. She attached a wire around the edge of the pendant.What is the approximate length of the wire she attached to the pendant?

Respuesta :

The approximate length is 21 cm.

EXPLANATION

Finding the length of the wire implies finding the perimeter of the semicircular pendant.

To find the perimeter of the pendant, we will use the formula below:

P = 2r + πr

Where P is the perimeter of the semicircle.

r is the radius of the semicircle.

π is a constant = 22/7

From the given question, r = 4.

Substitute the values into the formula and evaluate.

[tex]=8+\frac{88}{7}[/tex]

[tex]=20.5714[/tex]
