Answer:
65.76 m
Explanation:
This figure is split into three shapes: a right triangle, a rectangle, and a semi- circle. To find the area of the figure you can start by figuring out the area of each of the three shapes mentioned above, then adding their areas together. I'll write the numbers without the unit to make it simpler since it won't cancel out or anything.
Starting with the triangle:
1/2(b*h)=a
We see the base is 3, and the height is 5 (because the two opposite sides of a rectangle will be congruent) so if you plug the numbers into the formula you get:
1/2*15=a or 15/2=a
a=7.5
Then we calculate the area of the rectangle:
l*w=a
5*6=a
30=a
Then the area of the semi circle:
First we find the area as if it were a full circle by the equation using 3.14 as pi and 3 as r (since the denominator is 6 and half of 6 is 3):
3.14*r^2=a
3.14*3^2=a
3.14*9=a
28.26=a
Finally, we add all three areas from above:
7.5+30 + 28.26 = 65.76
