Question

i’m literally over here crying bc i can’t figure this out. if i don’t turn it in before an hour i get an F. PLEASE HELP. the question is “the diameter of the semicircle below is 12 yards. find the area and perimeter” you don’t have to do both numbers just pls let me know what one you solve. you can even only do area. i just rlly need help.

Answer 1

Area = 346.2yd²

Perimeter = 72.1yd

Explanation:

AREA

Split it into three shapes: (1) the semi-circle, (2) the triangle, and (3) the rectangle. Find the area of each and then add them together for the area of the whole shape.

Area₁ = πr² = (6²)π = 36π = 113.1 yd²

Area₂ = (1/2)bh = (1/2)(11.3)(14) = 79.1 yd²

Area₃ = lw = (11)(14) = 154 yd²

154 + 79.1 + 113.1=346.2yd²

PERIMETER

The perimeter consists of the length of the curve on the semi-circle, the top , the right side, the bottom, and the slanted line.

length of the curve on the semi-circle = half the cicumference of circle with radius 6 = (2π(6))/2 = 6π = 18.8

the top = 22.3

the right side = 14

the bottom = 11

the slanted line = the hypotenuse of triangle(2) - the diameter of circle(1) = (√(11.3²+14²))-12= (√(323.69))-12=18-12=6

18.8+22.3+14+11+6=72.1yd
