Answer:

12.5π +80 ≈ 119.27 cm²

Explanation:

You want the area of a figure composed of a rectangle and a semicircle.

Semicircle

The area of a circle is given by the formula ...

A = πr² . . . . . . where r is the radius, half the diameter

The area of the semicircle is half that. For the given diameter of 10 cm, the area of the semicircle is ...

A = (1/2)π(10 cm/2)² = 25/2π cm² ≈ 39.27 cm²

Rectangle

The area of the rectangle is the product of its length and width:

A = LW

A = (10 cm)(8 cm) = 80 cm²

Total area

The area of the composite figure is the sum of these areas:

total area = semicircle area + rectangle area

total area = 39.27 cm² + 80 cm² = 119.27 cm²

The area of the composite figure is about 119.27 cm².
