HELP PLEASEEE

Answer 1

15.48 yd squared

Explanation:

This is because 6 yards can be used as the radius of your circle. square your radius, so 6x6 which is 36 then multiply by 3.14. You then get 113.04. Since it is a semicircle, divide it by 2. You now get 56.52. If you know your radius, you know your diameter which is 12. 12 is also the length of the rectangle so 6x12 is 72 which is the area of the rectangle. Now subtract 56.52 from 72 to get 15.48 which is the shaded region of the rectangle. So I believe that you are doing yards, so 15.48 yd squared. I hope this helps :)
