Answer:

d. 94.25 in²

Explanation:

The area of this composite figure is the sum of the areas of a semicircle and a triangle. Each of those areas can be found using the appropriate formula:

semicircle: A = (π/2)r²

triangle: A = 1/2bh

__

semicircle

The semicircle has a radius equal to half its diameter. The radius is (10 in)/2 = 5 in. Its area is ...

A = (3.14/2)(5 in)² = 39.25 in²

triangle

The area of the triangle with base 11 in and height 10 in is ...

A = 1/2bh

A = 1/2(11 in)(10 in) = 55 in²

total area

The area of the figure is the sum of the areas of the semicircle and triangle, so is ...

figure area = (39.25 in²) +(55 in²)

figure area = 94.25 in²
