Answer:

18.8

Explanation:

First find the area of the rectangle, which is 4x3 (base x height) the area of the rectangle is 12.

We are given the radius as 2 for the quarter circles, and 2 quarter circles form 1 semicircle, so really we can solve for the area of one semi circle using the formula ( (pi*radius²)/2 ). Plug in the values and you should get 6.28.

Next, you add the area of the figures so 12+6.8 which is equal to 18.8.
