If the diameter of a semi-circular protractor is 14 cm, then find its perimeter.
Let AB be the diameter of the semi-circular protractor.
So, $A B=14 \mathrm{~cm}$
We know that perimeter of the semicircle $=\frac{1}{2}(2 \pi r)+2 r$
We have given the diameter of the protractor.
Therefore, radius of the protractor $=\frac{14}{2}$
So, radius of the protractor
Substituting the value of r in equation (1) we get,
Perimeter of the semi-circular protractor $=\frac{1}{2}(2 \pi \times 7)+2 \times 7$
Perimeter of the semi-circular protractor $=(\pi \times 7)+14$
Substituting $\pi=\frac{22}{7}$ we get,
Perimeter of the semi-circular protractor $=\left(\frac{22}{7} \times 7\right)+14$
Perimeter of the semi-circular protractor $=22+14$
Hence perimeter of the semi-circular protractor $=36$
Therefore, perimeter of the semi-circular protractor is $36 \mathrm{~cm}$.
