The outline of a sign for an ice-cream store is made by placing 3/4 of the circumference of a circle with radius 2 feet on top of an isosceles triangle with height 5 feet, as shown above. What is the perimeter, in feet, of the sign?
(A) \(3\pi + 3\sqrt{3}\)
(B) \(3\pi + 6\sqrt{3}\)
(C) \(3\pi + 2\sqrt{33}\)
(D) \(4\pi + 3\sqrt{3}\)
(E) \(4\pi + 6\sqrt{3}\)

As 3/4 of the circumference of a circle is placed on top of a triangle then the perimeter of big arc AB will be 3/4 of a circumference so \(\frac{3}{4}*2\pi{r}=3\pi\), so the answer is either A, B, or C.
Next, as big arc is 3/4 of a circumference then small arc is 1/4 of a circumference or 1/4*360=90 degrees, so \(\angle{AOB}=90\). Now, as \(AO=BO=r=2\) then \(AB=hypotenuse=2\sqrt{2}\) --> \(BD=\frac{AB}{2}=\sqrt{2}\) --> \(AC=BC=\sqrt{BD^2+DC^2}=\sqrt{2+25}=3\sqrt{3}\).
The whole perimeter equals to big arc AB + AC + BC: \(P=3\pi+3\sqrt{3}+3\sqrt{3}=3\pi+6\sqrt{3}\).
Answer: B.

The length of the arc for the perimeter = (3/4) * 2 \(\pi\) * 2 = \(3\pi\)
The central angle for the chord = 1/4 * 360 = 90 degrees
The Triangle formed is an isosceles right triangle with sides = 2. The hypotenuse, which is the base of the triangle. By Pythagoras's theorem, this is \(\sqrt{2^2 + 2^2} = \sqrt{8} = 2\sqrt{2}\)
half the base = \(\sqrt{2}\) and the height is 5. Again by PT, the side = \(\sqrt{(\sqrt{2})^2 + 5^2} = \sqrt{2 + 25} = \sqrt{27} = 3\sqrt{3}\)
The perimeter = \(3\pi + 2*3\sqrt{3} = 3\pi + 6\sqrt{3} \)
