Question

Find the Area of the figure below, composed of a parallelogram and two semicircles. Round to the nearest tenth place.

Answer 1

550.4 square units.

Explanation:

This problem is easier than it seems.

To find the area of the parallelogram, multiply 11 and 32 to get 352 sq. units

The two semicircles must be equal because the sides of a parallelogram must be equal.

So if you add the semicircles together, you get a circle.

So we're really finding parallelogram+circle.

The area of a circle is
`\pi`x
`r^(2)`, and the circle's radius is 8 because the radius is half of the diameter.

`\pi`≈3.1 because you're rounding to the nearest tenth.

3.1x64=198.4 sq. units

198.4+352=550.4 square units.
