Question

Denise is planning to put a deck in her back yard. The deck will be a 10-by-7-foot rectangle with a semicircle of diameter 4 feet, as shown below. Find the area of the deck (in square feet).(round your answer to two decimal places)

Answer 1

`approx. = 85.28 {ft}^(2)`

Explanation:

You can think of this as adding the area of the rectangular portion of the deck (length x width) and the semicircular portion (πr^2)/2.

(l×w)+(πr^2)/2

(10×7)+((π2^2)/2

79+2π

`approx. = 85.28 {ft}^(2)`
