    This document provides instructions on calculating the perimeters of shapes made up of circles and semicircles. It gives two tasks - the first asks the reader to measure dimensions of sample shapes and calculate perimeters using circumference formulas, while the second gives measurements and asks the reader to determine perimeters. An extension problem asks for the length of tape needed to wrap fiberglass around a bundle of pipes.

    CIRCUMFERENCE AND PERIMETER

    Circles and parts of circles are found in many different shapes and designs. To calculate the perimeters
    of these shapes you need to calculate the circumference of circles.

    TASK 1 Measure the dimensions

    By making your own measurements and using a formula for the circumference of a circle, calculate the
    perimeter of each of these shapes. You will need to round your answer to a sensible value.

    1 2 Semicircle

    3 Quadrant 4

    5
    TASK 2 Use given measurements

    Use the given measurements to determine the perimeter of each shape. Be careful to check whether
    you are using the diameter or the radius of the arcs.

    1 This shape was created using five semicircles. The radius of the large semicircle is 20 cm.

    2 All arcs are parts of a circle.

    EXTENSION

    Six pipes, each with a diameter of 30 cm, are bundled together and tied
    with fibreglass tape. The tape is joined by an overlap of 4 cm.

    What is the length of the tape? Justify your answer.
