Question

Find the area of this figure. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. Use 3.14 to approximate A = [ ? ] ft.

Answer 1

The area of the figure = Area of the Triangle + Area of the semi-circle

Area of the Triangle = 1/2 x b x h

Base = 6 feet

Height = 8 feet

Area of the Triangle = 1/2 x 6 x 8 = 48/2 = 24 feet^2

Area of the circle = pi x r ^2 radius = 8/2 = 4 ft

= 3.14 x 4 x 4

= 50.24 feet^2

Total area = 24 + 50.24 = 74. 24 feet ^2
