Answer:

76.969 units squared

or

49pi/2

or

24.5 pi

Explanation:

The equation for the area of a complete circle is


A = \pi r^2

Since there is only half a circle, the equation is divided by 2


(A)/(2)=(\pi r^2)/(2)

Given diameter 14, radius would be 14/2 = 7 units

Plug into the equation for a half circle to solve for area


(\pi (7)^2)/(2) = (49\pi )/(2) =24.5\pi = 76.969 units^2
