Answer:

98 pi inches ^2

Explanation:

We know that the diameter is 28 inches

The radius is 1/2 diameter

r = 14 inches

Area of a circle is pi * r^2

A = pi r^2

= pi (14)^2

= 196 pi

A semi circle is 1/2 of a circle,so we take 1/2 the area

A semi circle = 1/2 A circle

= 1/2 (196 pi)

= 98 pi inches ^2
