Answer with explanation:

In order to find the area of the given figure we have to decompose into geometrical figures whose area could be easily calculated by the use of the mathematical formulas we know.

Hence, we decompose it into:

  • 1 semicircle.
  • 2 trapezoids with one common base.
  • 1 rectangle.

The decomposition could be seen with the help of diagram attached to the answer.
