Explanation:

#"the circumference of a circle (C) is"#

#•color(white)(x)C=pidrArr1/2C=1/2pid#

#"Perimeter "="P of semi-circle"+"P of 4 identical"#

#"using "pi=3#

#d" of semi-circle "=8#

#"d of 4 identical semi-circles "=8/4=2#

#"perimeter "=1/2xx3xx8+4xx1/2xx3xx2#

#color(white)("perimeter ")=12+12=24" cm"#
