Question

PLEASE HELP!!! So the answer I got was 19.14 however that is not the correct answer. How do I solve this problem. Not sure what else to do.

Answer 1

Check the picture below.

so we know the radius of the semicircle is 2 and the rectangle below it is really a 4x4 square, so let's just get their separate areas and add them up.

`\stackrel{\textit{area of the semicircle}}{\cfrac{1}{2}\pi r^2}\implies \cfrac{1}{2}(\stackrel{\pi }{3.14})(2)^2\implies 3.14\cdot 2\implies 6.28 \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{area of the square}}{(4)(4)}\implies 16 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ ~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{sum of both areas}}{16+6.28=22.28}~\hfill`
