Question

Find the Area of the figure below, composed of a rectangle and a semicircle. Round to

the nearest tenths place.
13
8

Answer 1

Total area of the composite figure = 129.1 square units

Explanation:

Area of the figure attached = Area of semicircle + Area of the rectangle

Since area of the semicircle =
`(1)/(2)\pi r^(2)`

where 'r' = radius of the circle

Area of the semicircle =
`(1)/(2)\pi (4)^(2)`

= 8π

= 25.1 square units

Area of the rectangle = Length × width

= 13 × 8

= 104 square units

Total area of the composite figure = 25.1 + 104

= 129.1 square units
