Answer: 7.14 in²
Explanation:
1) Find the area of the square: 2*2 = 4 square inches
2) We can see that there are 2 semi-circles with the same diameter or 2 inches. Use the area of a circle formula: A = r².
Since the diameter is 2 inches, the radius is diameter/2 which is 1 inch.
Plug this information into the formula.
A=
= 3.14 inches
3) 4 + 3.14 = 7.14 inches²
The answer is the second option, 7.14 inches²
