Circumference of the circle=2Pr=2*P*100=2*100*3.14=628
Now,we have 1/4 of that circle-->628/4=157
And we need to add two sides=157+100+100=357
The more you look, the more you see.

The question asks for perimeter

P = 0.5[pi*r] + 2*r

r =100

P = 100[ pi/2 + 2]

pi =3.14. so pi/2 =1.57

P = 100[1.57+2] = 100[3.57] = 357

Hope this is a simpler method
