Question

Mike installed the window shown. How many square feet is the window? Use 3.14 for pi. Round to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Answer: 3.9ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the area of the rectangle first:

= Length * Width

= 2 * 1.5

= 3 ft²

Find the area of the semi-circle by finding the area of a circle and dividing it by 2:

= πr²

= 3.14 * 1.5/2 * 1.5/2

= 1.76625‬ft²

Divide by 2:

= 1.76625‬/ 2

= 0.88 ft²

Add the area of the rectangle to the semi-circle:

= 3 + 0.88

= 3.9ft²
