Raheem designs the garden above find the total area of the garden hence split up the composite shape into shapes that you can find the area of explain how you found the total area of the composite shape
To find the total area of the composite shape in Raheem's garden, we can split it up into simpler shapes and then find the area of each shape.
In this garden, we can split it into three main shapes: a rectangle, a semicircle, and a triangle.
1. Rectangle:
The rectangle has a length of 10 meters and a width of 5 meters. To find the area of the rectangle, we use the formula: Area = Length x Width
Area = 10m x 5m = 50 square meters
2. Semicircle:
The semicircle has a radius of 5 meters. To find the area of the semicircle, we use the formula: Area = 1/2 x π x Radius^2
Area = 1/2 x π x 5^2 = 1/2 x 3.14 x 25 = 39.25 square meters
3. Triangle:
The triangle has a base of 10 meters and a height of 5 meters. To find the area of the triangle, we use the formula: Area = 1/2 x Base x Height
Area = 1/2 x 10m x 5m = 25 square meters
Total Area = Area of Rectangle + Area of Semicircle + Area of Triangle
Total Area = 50 + 39.25 + 25 = 114.25 square meters
Therefore, the total area of the composite shape in Raheem's garden is 114.25 square meters.
