a) 4.71ft

b) 3.53ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter is 1/2 the circumference

1/2 Circumference = 2*pi*radius

Radius = 1/2 Diameter

Radius = 3/2 = 1.5ft

Circumference = 2*pi*1.5ft = 9.42

1/2 Circumference = 4.71

4.71ft is the perimeter.

The area is 1/2 that of a full circle

A = pi*r^2

A = 3.14*1.5*1.5

A = 7.065ft^2

1/2 A = 3.53ft^2

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.
