Answer 1

Area of the figure= area of the rectangle+ area of the semicircle

=(15×14)+(1/2)π(7)²=210+77=287 square unit

287 square unit is the right answer.

Remember:--- area of the rectangle

=(length×breadth)

and area of the semicircle=π(radius)²/2

Answer 2

286.97

Explanation:

find the area of the rectangle first

14*15=210

Next

Find the area of a circle

πr^2=a

the radius of the circle is half the height of the rectangle

π*(7*7)=a

a=153.94

Now

Divide the area by two

153.94/2=76.97

Now add the two areas

76.97+210
