Answer:

643.72 m²

Explanation:

The area is the sum of the areas of the parts. The figure can be divided into a triangle and a semicircle.

The formula for the area of the triangle is ...

A = 1/2bh

For the given base of 28 m and height of 24 m, the area is ...

A = 1/2(28 m)(24 m) = 336 m²

__

The area of a semicircle is given by the formula ...

A = (π/8)d² . . . . for diameter d

The given diameter is 28 m, so the area is about ...

A = (3.14/8)(28 m)² = 307.72 m²

__

Then the total area of the figure is ...

total area = triangle area + semicircle area

total area = 336 m² +307.72 m² = 643.72 m²
