Question

Explain the steps you would take to find the area of the following composite shape. (Use 3.14 for π.)

Answer 1

Hello There!

The first composite shape we would need to find is the rectangle. We would use the formula length multiplied by width.

The second composite shape is a hemisphere. The area of a hemisphere is Pi multiplied by the radius squared and then divide it by 2.

To find the area of both of these figures, add up the area for each one and then you will get the area of both.

Hope this helps

Answer 2

see the explanation

Explanation:

we know that

The area of the composite figure is equal to the area of a semicircle plus the area of a rectangle

step 1

Find the area of semicircle

The area of semicircle is

`A=(1)/(2)\pi r^(2)\ units^2`

step 2

Find the area of rectangle

The area of rectangle is equal to

`A=bh`

where

b is the base of rectangle (is the same that the diameter of semicircle)

h is the height of rectangle

`b=2r\ units`

`A=2rh\ units^2`

step 3

Find the area of the composite figure

Adds the areas

`A=((1)/(2)\pi r^(2)+2rh)\ units^2`
