Answer:

23.9425 (Round if needed)

Explanation:

This is 2 half circles so you can find the area of a circle and divide it by 2.

First circle has a diameter of 6 cm

6/2=3 cm

So, circle has radius of 3.

Area of circle= 3.14(pi) radius^2

3.14 x 3^2= 28.26

28.26/2=14.13 cm

Area of first half circle= 14.13

Repeat that process for the second circle.

3.14 x 2.5^2=19.625

19.625/2=9.8125

14.13+9.8215=23.9425

Area=23.9425
