If the radius of the semicircle is r
then side of the rectangle attached to the semicircle(breadth) = diameter of the semicircle = 2r
and let the length of the rectangle(adjacent side to the side at which semicircle is attached) be x
So, the area of the window : area of the rectangle + area of the semiciircle = 24
(length * breadth) + (∏ r2 )/2 = 24
( x * 2r ) + (∏ r2 )/2 = 24
2xr + (∏ r2 )/2 =24
2xr = 24- (∏ r2 )/2
x =[24- (∏ r2 )/2 ] /2r
= [ 48- (∏ r2 ) ] /4r
So the perimeter of the window = (2* length ) + breadth + length of the semicircle
= 2* [ 48- (∏ r2 ) ] /4r + 2r + ∏ r
= [ 48- (∏ r2 ) ] / 2r + 2r + ∏ r
= [48- (∏ r2 ) + 4r2 + 2∏ r2] / 2r
= [ 48 + ∏ r2 +4r2 ]/2r
