### Perimeter of Composite Figures with Circular Arcs

**Task:** Find the perimeter for the following figures. All arcs shown are arcs of circles. Either leave the answer in terms of \( \pi \) by entering answers with the word pi, or use 3.14 for pi and round your answer to the nearest 10th.

#### Figure 15
This figure is composed of a rectangle and two semicircular arcs on the shorter sides. The inner dimensions of the rectangle are given as follows:
- The length of the rectangle is 8 units.
- The radius of the semicircle is 2 units.

To find the perimeter of the figure:
1. Calculate the circumference of the full circle and then take half of it for each semicircle.
2. Add the length of the two straight sides of the rectangle.

- The circumference of a full circle is \( 2\pi r \).
- For a semicircle, the length is \( \pi r \).

Here, \( r = 2 \):
- Perimeter of each semicircle = \( 2 \pi \times 2 \div 2 = 2\pi \) units.

Two semicircles together form a full circle:
- Perimeter of the arcs combined = \( 2\pi \times 2 = 4\pi \) units.

Next, the combined length of the straight sides:
- Total straight length = \( 8 \) (top of the rectangle) + \( 8 \) (bottom of the rectangle) = 16 units.

Thus, the total perimeter:
\[ \text{Perimeter} = 16 + 4\pi \text{ units} \]

#### Figure 16
This figure is composed of a rectangle with four quarter circles removed from the corners. The dimensions of the rectangle are provided:
- The length is 16 units.
- The height is 10 units.

To find the perimeter:
1. Calculate the perimeter of the full rectangle.
2. Subtract the lengths of the straight cuts from the quarters of circles and add the arc lengths.

For the rectangle:
- Perimeter without cuts = \( 2 \times (16 + 10) = 52 \) units.

Each quarter circle removed has a radius of 3 units (since the difference in horizontal side indicates 3 as the parts cut off).

- Circumference of full circles for both short and long sides = \( 2\pi \
