$$Area(semi-circle)$$Let's begin by listing out the information given to us:

This is a composite shape composed of a semicircle and a square

Radius (r) = 6 m

Length (l) = 12 m

To obtain the area of the composite shape, we will sum up the areas of the semicircle and square

AREA OF SEMI-CIRCLE


\begin{gathered} Area(semi-circle)=(1)/(2)\pi r^2 \\ Area(semi-circle)=(1)/(2)\cdot3.14\cdot6^2 \\ Area(semi-circle)=56.52m^2 \end{gathered}

AREA OF SQUARE


\begin{gathered} AreaSquare=l^(2) \\ AreaSquare=12^(2)=144 \\ AreaSquare=144m^(2) \end{gathered}

Total Area = Area of semicircle + Area of square = 56.52 + 144 = 200.52

Total Area = 200.52 m²
