Answer: 18pi + 36 + (36-4.5pi)+4.5pi= 22.5pi + 36 + (36-4.5pi)
Explanation:
CDEF is a square so all sides of CDEF are 6cm.
This tells us the area of CDEF which is 36cm squared
This tells us the radius of AE which is the side FE which we know is 6cm.
Area of a half circle= pi x r squared/2
Area of AE= pi x 36/2= 18pi
Now, look at the square with the half circle inside ABCF. If the half circle was part of the shaded square, the area would be 36cm squared. But since it isn't we need to minus the area of the half circle from 36cm square (area of ABCF)
Area of half circle BC= pi x 3 squared/2= pi x 9/2= 4.5pi.
So the area of ABCF is 36-4.5pi.
CD would also have an area of 4.5pi as it is the exact same half circle.
Area of AE=18pi cm squared
Area of CDEF= 36cm squared
Area of ABCF= 36-4.5pi
Area of CD= 4.5pi
18pi+36+(36-4.5pi)+4.5pi
simplified to:
22.5pi + 36 + (36-4.5pi)
