Answer:

2. do part 3, then subtract area not painted from the overall area

3. triangle: 16 ft²; semicircle: 6.28 ft²; rectangle: 48 ft²

4. 57.72 ft²

Explanation:

2.

The area that needs to be painted can be found by determining the overall area of the shape and subtracting the area that is not painted.

__

3.

The area of the triangle is given by the formula:

A = 1/2bh

A = 1/2(8 ft)(4 ft) = 16 ft²

The area of the semicircle is ...

A = 1/2πr²

A = 1/2(3.14)(2 ft)² = 6.28 ft²

The area of the rectangle is ...

A = bh

A = (8 ft)(6 ft) = 48 ft²

__

4.

The triangle and rectangle are painted. They constitute the overall shape of the set piece. The semicircular window is a hole, so does not need to be painted. Then the painted area is ...

triangle area + rectangle area - semicircle area

= 16 ft² +48 ft² -6.28 ft² = 57.72 ft² . . . painted area
