Answer:

(C) 66.63 sq in.

Explanation:

The composite shape is a trapezoid + semi circle

The formula for area of a trapezoid is:

1/2(b1+b2)h

Where b1 is base 1

Where b2 is base 2

Where h is height

B1 is 6

B2 is 9

h is 7

1/2 (6 + 9) 7

1/2 (15) 7

7.5 x 7

= 52.5

The Semi circle formula is:

pi x r^2 (all divided by 2)

Where pi is 3.14

Where r is radius

The radius is 1/2 the diameter

6/2 = 3

3.14 x 3^2 /2

3.14 x 9 / 2

28.26 / 2

= 14.13

Trapezoid + Semi Circle

52.5 + 14.13

= 66.63 sq in.
