Answer: 23.13 square meters
===============================================================
Step-by-step explanation:
The top and bottom semicircles can be joined to form a full circle. The same can be said about the left and right semicircles. Each circle has diameter 3 and radius 1.5
The area of one circle is
A = pi*r^2
A = 3.14*(1.5)^2
A = 7.065
So two circles doubles to 2*7.065 = 14.13 square meters in area.
Then the last step is to add on the area of the 3 by 3 square (area 3*3 = 9) to get 14.13+9 = 23.13
This area is approximate because pi = 3.14 is approximate. Use more decimal digits in pi to get a more accurate area. However, your teacher wants you to use this specific value so it's best to stick with 23.13
