The distance between the centre of the two wheels is the same as the horizontal part of the belt.

The part that is touching each wheel is equal to half the diameter for each one.

Answer = (Total length - 2 x half circumference)/2
= (15 - 2 x pi x 0.5)/2
= (15 - pi)/2 A.

and its touching 1/2 of the circumference of each circle

but i stil dont get how this is formed 15-pi/2

The whole belt is made up of 2 horizontal parts (top and bottom) and 2 round half-circumference parts.

So:

15 = Top + bottom + 2 x half circle

Top = bottom (call this A)

15 = 2A + 2 x pi*d/2 (d=1)
15 = 2A + pi

15 - pi = 2A

A = (15 - pi)/2
