We know that the circumference of a circle is equal to the diameter times pi- or 3.14. With a quarter circle, we know the Radius- distance from the center point to the edge. Double that, and you have the diameter of a whole circle. Multiply that by pi, and you have the circumference of the whole circle- but since you have a quarter circle, divide that by 4. A 3 ft quarter- times 2= 6. 6x3.14= 18.84. divide THAT by 4=4.71. NOW add in the original radius for each of the two STRAIGHT sides- that is 3 x 2, or 6, PLUS the length of the curved part- 4.71, and you have 10.71 ft. So you have the length of the two straight sides, and the curving 3rd side combined.
