So first of all this is a compound shape (any shape that is made up of two or more geometric shapes.)

The shapes shown is a RIGHT ANGLED TRIANGLE AND A SEMI CIRCLE.

u need to know the formulas to find the area of each shape.

Triangle: 1/2 x base x height
Semicircle: 1/2 x pi x radius squared

First lets find the area of the triangle: 1/2 x (10) x (30)= 150m

Semicircle: 1/2 x pi x (5)squared=30.27m to 2 decimal places

5 is the radius because 10 is the diameter

The radius is half the diameter.

Then add both areas to get 189.27m
