The perimeter of given figure  = 56.56 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

From diagram

      The length of the rectangle = 10 ft

     The width of the rectangle = 8 ft

     Perimeter of the rectangle

                      = 2 ( l+w)

                     =  2 ( 10 + 8)

                     = 2 × 18

                     = 36

Step(ii):-

The semi circle is included in the given diagram

Now we will find the perimeter of semicircle

We know that

        perimeter  of the circle

          p = 2πr + d

        perimeter of the semicircle

       P = πr + 2 r    (∵ d = 2 r)

Step(iii):-

From diagram the diameter of semicircle is equal to the width of the rectangle

      d = 8

     d = 2 r = 8

The radius of the circle 'r' = 4  

    perimeter of the semicircle

       P = πr + 2 r  

      P = 3.14 ( 4) + 8

     P= 20.56

Conclusion:-

The perimeter of given figure

                    = perimeter of rectangle + perimeter of semicircle

                    = 36 + 20.56

                   =56.56 ft

He multiplied 3/4 by 1/5 instead of dividing 3/4 by 1/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Correct is 3/4 / 1/5

= 3/4 * 5

= 15/4 gallons per minute.
