Answer: 236.715

Explanation:

1. Find the area of the middle rectangle.

Use A = bh

A = (4)(15)

A = 60

2. Find the area of the two semicircles (which equals one circle)

Use A = πr²

The diameter is given.

D = 2r

15 = 2r

r = 7.5

A = π(7.5)²

A ≈ 176.715

3. Add the area of the rectange and circle.

60 + 176.715 = 236.715
