Answer:

The amount of tape to be saved is 15.43 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Semicircle is half of a given circle, consisting of an arc and a diameter. Its perimeter is determined by adding the length of its arc to the diameter.

perimeter of a semicircle = length of its arc + its diameter

length of the arc = half of the circumference of its circle

circumference of a circle = 2\pir

half of the circumference of a circle = \pir

length of the arc of the semicircle = half of the circumference of a circle = \pir

The initial diameter of the semicircle = 30 inches

⇒ its radius, r = 15 inches

Amount of tape to be saved = Initial perimeter of the semicircle - perimeter of the inside of the semicircle

Initial perimeter of the semicircle = \pir + length of the diameter

                                                       =  \frac{22}{7} × 15 + 30

                                                       = 47.1429 + 30

                                                       = 77.1429 inches

Initial perimeter of the semicircle is 77.1429 inches.

The inside semicircle is formed, since a tape of width 3 inches has been placed along the perimeter of the initial doormat. Then,

diameter of the inside semicircle = 30 - 6

                                               = 24 inches

⇒           its radius = 12 inches

perimeter of the inside semicircle = \pir + length of the diameter

                                                        =  \frac{22}{7} × 12 + 24

                                                        = 37.7143 + 24

                                                       = 61.7143 inches

perimeter of the inside semicircle is 61.7143 inches.

Amount of tape to be saved = 77.1429 - 61.7143

                                               = 15.4286

The amount of tape to be saved is 15.43 inches.
