Let the side of equilateral triangle be a
So, 3a = p
i.e. a = \(\frac{p}{3}\)
Also, side of equilateral triangle = side of square = diameter of semi-circle = \(\frac{p}{3}\)
Half-circumference of circle = \(πr = \frac{πp}{6}\)
Perimeter of other fours sides of the figure = \(4(\frac{p}{3})\)
Total Perimeter = \(\frac{4p}{3} + \frac{πp}{6}\)
Hence, option E
