I’m having difficulty solving this problem and it continues to be incorrect 

To solve the problem, we need to find the perimeter of the figure, which includes:

1. Two straight lines on the left side (3 cm and 2 cm).
2. A straight line across the top (5 cm).
3. A semicircular arc on the right side.

### Step-by-Step Solution

1. **Identify the Straight Segments**:
   - The left side has a vertical line of \(3 \, \text{cm}\) and a horizontal line of \(2 \, \text{cm}\).
   - The top side has a horizontal line of \(5 \, \text{cm}\).
   
   Total length of straight segments:
   \[
   3 + 2 + 5 = 10 \, \text{cm}
   \]

2. **Calculate the Semicircle's Perimeter**:
   - The semicircle has a diameter of \(3 \, \text{cm}\) (the same as the height on the left).
   - The formula for the circumference of a full circle is \(C = \pi d\).
   - For a semicircle, we take half of the circumference:
     \[
     \text{Semicircular arc} = \frac{\pi \times 3}{2} = \frac{3.14 \times 3}{2} = 4.71 \, \text{cm}
     \]

3. **Add Up All Parts**:
   \[
   \text{Perimeter} = 10 + 4.71 = 14.7 \, \text{cm} \quad \text{(rounded to 1 decimal place)}
   \]

### Final Answer:
The perimeter of the figure is **14.7 cm**.

Would you like more details on any step or have additional questions?

Here are some related questions to deepen your understanding:
1. What is the formula for finding the circumference of a semicircle?
2. How does the diameter relate to the circumference of a circle?
3. Why do we divide by 2 when calculating the perimeter of a semicircle?
4. What would the perimeter be if the figure included a full circle instead of a semicircle?
5. How would the answer change if the dimensions were doubled?

**Tip:** Remember to use the correct units and round only at the final answer.

Find the perimeter of the figure. Use 3.14 for π. (The figure is not to scale, round to at least 1 decimal place).
