Question

A bookmark is shaped like a rectangle with a semicircle attached at both ends. The rectangle is 15 cm long and 4 cm wide. The diameter of each circle is the width of the rectangle. What is the area of the bookmark? Use 3.14 for pi

Answer 1

The area of the rectangle is Length x width. So 12x4 would =48 sq cm. The area of the circle is ( 3.14 ) x r2.

The area of the circle would be = (3.14)x2^2)=12.56 cm sq.

So the total area is= Area of rectangle +Area of circle

TA=48+12.56

TA=60.56 sq cm
