A quadrant is a sector with a subtended angle of #pi/2#. To find the perimeter we add twice the radius and the arc length together.

Arc length is given by:

#rtheta#

Where #theta# is measured in radians.

#:.#

#"Arc length"=(7/2)*(pi/2)=7/4pi#

Perimeter is:

#2*7/2+(7pi)/4=(28+7pi)/4~~12.49778714#
