problem
Solution
The perimeter of the shaded region equals the sum of the lengths of and plus the length of arc .

Each of and has length 5.

Arc forms of the circle with center and radius 5, because the missing portion corresponds to a central angle of , and so is of the total circle.

Thus, the length of arc is of the circumference of this circle, or . Therefore, the perimeter is .
Final answer
10 + \frac{15}{2}\pi
