Find the Area of the figure below, composed of a rectangle and a semicircle. The radius of the circle is shown. Round to the nearest tenths place.
To find the area of the figure, we need to find the areas of the rectangle and the semicircle and then add them together.
Area of rectangle = length x width = 8 x 6 = 48 square units
Area of semicircle = (1/2) x π x radius^2 = (1/2) x π x 5^2 = (1/2) x π x 25 = 12.5π square units
Area of figure = Area of rectangle + Area of semicircle
Area of figure = 48 + 12.5π ≈ 48 + 39.27 ≈ 87.3 square units
Therefore, the area of the figure is approximately 87.3 square units.
where did we get square units from..
this needs to be right-
Apologies for the oversight. Let's correctly calculate the area without the units.
To find the area of the figure, we need to find the areas of the rectangle and the semicircle and then add them together.
Area of rectangle = length x width = 8 x 6 = 48 square units
Area of semicircle = (1/2) x π x radius^2 = (1/2) x π x 5^2 = (1/2) x π x 25 = 12.5π
Area of figure = Area of rectangle + Area of semicircle
Area of figure = 48 + 12.5π ≈ 48 + 39.27 ≈ 87.27
Therefore, the approximate area of the figure is 87.3 units.
