Answer: D) 38 square cm

A slightly more accurate value is 38.28 cm^2, when using pi = 3.14

=================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical height of the rectangle is 4 cm, which forms the diameter of the semicircle. The diameter cuts in half to 4/2 = 2, which is the radius.

The area of a full circle with radius r = 2 cm is approximately pi*r^2 = 3.14*2^2 = 12.56 square cm.

Cut that in half to get (12.56)/2 = 6.28 square cm. This is the approximate area of the semicircle.

--------

The area of the rectangle is length*width = 6*4 = 24 square cm.

The triangle has its bottom portion of 4 cm (because 10-6 = 4) and its height is 4 cm, so we get the triangle area of base*height/2 = 4*4/2 = 8 square cm.

The last thing we do is add up all the results we got:

6.28 + 24 + 8 = 38.28

That rounds to 38 square cm when rounding to the nearest whole number.
