Answer: E. 200.5 ft

so first you’d find the area of the square which is 12 x 12 = 144 (area = length x width)

next, find the radius of the semi circle which is 12 divided by 2 (because we used the measurements from the square and the diameter is 12 and radius is half of diameter)

pretend your solving for a full circle and then divide it by 2 to get the answer for the semi circle since a semi circle is half of a circle (formula for circle A = pi r^2)

area of circle = 113.04 divided by 2 to get semi circle = 56.5

then add both areas together

56.52 + 144 = 200.5

Answer:


in \: this \: shape \: you \: have \: two \: pieces \: one \: square \: ad \: half \: of \: circle \\ area \: of \: circle = 12 * 12 = 144 \\ area \: of \: hafl \: of \: circle = 12 * 12 * 0.25 * 3.14 = 113.04 \\ whole \: area = 144 + 113.04 = 257.04
