Perimeter of desired semicircle is #20.57# #ft.#

The perimeter of a semicircle includes

half the circumference of circle i.e.

#(2pir)/2 =pir#, where #r# is radius.

and diameter on the other side i.e. #d =2r#

#P = pir + 2r#

Hence perimeter of a semicircle is #r(pi+2)#

As radius is #4# #ft.#

Perimeter of desired semicircle is #4xx(3.1416+2)#

#P=20.5664# or say #20.57# #ft.#
