Question

A bookmark is shaped like a rectangle with a semicircle attached at both ends. The rectangle is 10 cm long and 4 cm wide. The diameter of each circle is the width of the rectangle. What is the area of the bookmark? Use 3.14 for π.

Answer 1

I don't think this is right since it is a negative number but i tried ;-; -10.2

Explanation:

First do the area of the rectangle(bookmark) ((L x W)) = 40 ... Then do the area of the semicircle(holes) 50.27 ((extra- next cut that in half, = 25.135(optional- round to 25.1?) x2)), And subtract that number from 40. = -10.2
