The perimeter of a sector is made up of the arc length, which is a portion of the circumference of the associated circle and two radii (one on each side) like this:
(Perimeter of the sector in red)
C(of the associated circle) = 2πr
Arc Lengthsector = 2πr(% of the circumference) = 2πr[(7π/4)/(2π)] = 2πr(7/8) = 7πr/4
Since r = 3, then Arc Length = 21π/4
Then, to get the perimeter, we need to add 3 + 3
So the perimeter is 21π/4 + 6 = 21π/4 + 24/4 = (21π + 24)/4
