58.3

Answer 1

Answer: its 44.1

Step-by-step explanation: i took the test

Answer 2

Answer: choice B) 44.1

--------------------------------------------

Work Shown:

Area of Semicircle = (area of circle)/2
Area of Semicircle = (pi*r^2)/2
Area of Semicircle = (pi*3^2)/2 ... take half of diameter (6) to get radius (3)
Area of Semicircle = (9pi)/2
Area of Semicircle = (9*3.14)/2
Area of Semicircle = 14.13

Area of Rectangle = length*width
Area of Rectangle = 6*5
Area of Rectangle = 30

Total Area = (Area of Semicircle) + (Area of Rectangle)
Total Area = (14.13) + (30)
Total Area = 44.13
which rounds to 44.1
