Question

3. The figure below is a composite shape that consists of a semicircle and an equilateral triangle (triangle

with sides that are all equal). Find the perimeter and area of the composite shape. Use 3.14 for pi.
Perimeter:
4cm
5cm
Area:

Answer 1

See explanation below

Explanation:

Area = Area of triangle + Area of the semi circle

Area of triangle = 1/2bh

Area of triangle = 1/2 *(5/2)(4)

Area of triangle = 1/2(2.5)*4

Area of triangle = 2 * 2.5

Area of triangle = 5cm^2

Area of semicircle = πr²/2

r = 2.5cm

Area of semicircle =(3.14)(2.5)²/2

Area of semicircle = = 3.14 * 4.5

Area of semicircle = 9.8125cm^2

Area pf the figure = 5+9.8125

Area pf the figure = 14.8125cm^2

For the perimeter

Perimeter of the semicircle = 2πr

Perimeter of the semicircle = 2(3.14)(2.5)

Perimeter of the semicircle = 15.7cm

Perimeter of the semicircle = = 15.7 + 5 + 5

Perimeter of the semicircle = 25.7cm
