Answer:


A=292.53~m^2

Explanation:

Area of a Compound Shape

The shape shown in the image is made of two shapes: Half a circle of radius 8 m and a triangle of base 24 m and height 16 m.

The area of a circle of radius r is:


A_c = \pi r^2

The area of a triangle of base b and height h is:


\displaystyle A_t=(b.h)/(2)

Calculate the area of the circle:


A_c = \pi 8^2


A_c = 64\pi

Area of half the circle:


A_c/2 = 32\pi~m^2

Area of the triangle:


\displaystyle A_t=(24\cdot 16)/(2)


A_t=192~m^2

The area of the shaded shape is:


A=32\pi~m^2+192~m^2

Substituting the value of pi:


\mathbf{A=292.53~m^2}
