Respuesta :

To find the perimeter, first, we sum the three sides belonging to the rectangle.

[tex]R=20+26+26=72in[/tex]

Then, we find half of the circumference of the circle knowing that its diameter is 20 inches.

[tex]C=\frac{\pi d}{2}=\frac{\pi\cdot20}{2}=10\cdot3.14=31.4in[/tex]

At last, we sum both quantities.

[tex]P=72+31.4=103.4in[/tex]

Hence, the perimeter is 103.4 inches.
