What is the area of the figure in square centimeters?

Since the figure consists of a triangle and a circle, we need to find the area of each separately and then add them together.

Area of the triangle = 1/2 * base * height
Area of triangle = 1/2 * 7 cm * 4 cm
Area of triangle = 14 cm^2

Area of circle = π * (radius)^2
Area of circle = π * 3.5 cm * 3.5 cm
Area of circle = 38.48 cm^2 (approx.)

Total area = Area of triangle + Area of circle
Total area = 14 cm^2 + 38.48 cm^2
Total area = 52.48 cm^2

Therefore, the area of the figure is approximately 52.48 square centimeters.
