Q:

A mirror frame in the shape of an oval is shown below. The ends of the frame form semicircles:An oval is formed by a rectangle with semicircles at each end. The length of the rectangle is 62 inches. The width of the rectangle is 27 inches.Which of the following is the perimeter of the inner edge of the frame?(π = 3.14) 146.78 inches 208.78 inches 293.56 inches 347.56 inches

Accepted Solution

A:
To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

 1. You have that:

 - An oval is formed by a rectangle with semicircles at each end.
 - The length of the rectangle is 62 inches. The width of the rectangle is 27 inches.

 2. Then, the perimeter is:

 P=((3.14)(diameter)/2)(2)+(Lenght of the rectangle)(2)

 P=((3.14)(27 inches)/2)(2)+(62 inches)(2)
 P=208.78 in
