Answer:

Scott is wrong because he did not add the diameter that connects the arc

the fence is 41.12 feet. He would buy 42 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference of a semicircle = πr + d

π = pi = 3.14

d = diameter = 16

r = radius = 16/2 = 8

the diameter is the straight line that passes through the centre of a circle and touches the two edges of the circle.

A radius is half of the diameter

( 3.14 x 8) + 16 = 41.12 feet
