You can put this solution on YOUR website!
In order to find the length we need to know the radius of the semicircles\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Length around a semi-circle is \"%28pi%2Ar%29%2B2r%29\", therefore
\n" ); document.write( "L = \"3%28%28pi%2Ar%29%2B2r%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "L = \"%283%2Api%2Ar%29%2B6r\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
