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.
semicircle : 2
length : 7
The area of the figure can be found by adding the area of the rectangle and the area of the semicircle.
Area of rectangle = length x width
Area of rectangle = 7 x 2 = 14
Area of semicircle = (1/2) x π x r^2
Area of semicircle = (1/2) x π x 2^2
Area of semicircle = (1/2) x π x 4
Area of semicircle = 2π
Total area = Area of rectangle + Area of semicircle
Total area = 14 + 2π
Total area = 14 + 6.28
Total area = 20.28
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the area of the figure is approximately 20.3.
