Question

Find the area of the figure to the nearest thousandth

Answer 1

`236.715\:\mathrm{ft^2}`

Explanation:

The area of the figure consists of a rectangle and two half-circles.

Area of rectangle:
`15\cdot 4=60`

Area of two half-circles:
`2\cdot (1)/(2)\cdot 7.5^2\cdot \pi=176.714586764`

Thus, the total area of the figure is

`60+ 176.714586764\approx \boxed{236.715}`
