Answer:  257.48 cm

======================================================

Explanation

Those 4 semicircles can be joined to form 4/2 = 2 full circles.

Each circle has diameter 41 cm.

Let's find the circumference of one circle

C = circumference, d = diameter = 41, pi = 3.14

C = pi*d

C = 3.14*41

C = 128.74

That's the perimeter of one full circle. Double it to get

2*128.74 = 257.48 cm

Which is the total length of the wire.
