Find the perimeter. Explain what you added together to get your answer. You can get partial credit for explaining steps, even if
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

the area of the shape is 7.14

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the area of the square:

2 in x 2 in = 4 in

then to find the area of the semi- circles add them together to make a circle

To find the area of the circle, use:

pi x radius^2  

Since the diameter is 2 divide the diameter by 2 to get radius  

3.14 x 1^2 = 3.14

The circle is 3.14 plus 4 ( the square ) = 7.14

Solve for x x^2 b+t=x^2 e
Naily [24]

x^2b + t = x^2e

x^2e - x^2b = t

x^2(e - b) = t

x^2 = t /(e -b)

x = √[t /(e -b)] or x = - √[t /(e -b)]
