Solve the following problem using what you know about composite figures what is the area of the figure
To find the area of the figure, we need to break it down into simpler shapes and then add up their areas.
The figure consists of a rectangle and a semicircle. The rectangle has a length of 7 units and a width of 3 units, so its area is 7 * 3 = 21 square units.
The semicircle has a radius of 3 units (which is half the width of the rectangle). The formula for the area of a circle is A = πr^2, so the area of the semicircle is 1/2 * π * 3^2 = 4.5π square units.
Now, we add the area of the rectangle to the area of the semicircle to get the total area of the figure:
21 + 4.5π ≈ 21 + 14.14 ≈ 35.14 square units.
So, the area of the figure is approximately 35.14 square units.
