Answer:

Hi hopefully this helps you!

Explanation:

To find the area of a circle you can use the formula A = πr^2

The radius of a circle is just the diameter divided by 2. In this case we know the diameter is 3, so the radius is 1.5

A = π(1.5)^2

= 7.07

Because this is a semicircle, divide this area by 2

= 3.53429 in^2

Add up the area of this semi circle with the area of the rectangle

A = (3.53429) + (3x4)

= 15.53429 in^2

To find the circumference/ perimeter of a circle use this formula C = 2πR

C = 2π(1.5)

= 9.42478 inches

Again because this is a semicircle, divide by 2

= 9.42478 / 2

= 4.71239 inches

To find the perimeter of this entire shape add up the circumference of the semicircle and the rectangle's sides and bottom

P = 4.71239 + 4 + 4 + 3

= 15.71239 inches

So the final answer would be

A = 15.53 squared inches

P = 15.71 inches

Hope this helps! Best of luck in your studies <3
