Question

I need to find the area. please help

Answer 1

A = 190 inches^2

Explanation:

The total area would be area for a rectangle + half the area of a circle:

Area for a rectangle:

A = l x w

A = 12 x 15

A = 180
`inches^(2)`

Area for half of the circle:

A =
`(\pi r^(2) )/(2)`

`A = (\pi 2.5^(2) )/(2) \\\\= (19.63)/(2) \\\\= 9.8 inches^(2)`

Total area: Rectangle area + half of the circle area

= 180 + 9.8 = 189.8 = 190 inches^2

Answer 2

Explanation:

Find the rectangle area first by using the formula A=length * width then find the semicircle area by using the formula A=pi*r²/2
